One of the well known names of Christ, and most blessedly answering to his office, work and character in the hearts of his people. (See two beautiful proofs among a thousand. Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 48:16-17) This name at once sets forth the infinite dignity of his person, and the infinite suitableness of his salvation; "for in him are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:3) In conjunction with the Father and the Holy Ghost, he was in the council of peace before all worlds, when the whole scheme of redemption was formed, and when it was determined upon, to be brought forth in time, and in its blessings to reach to all eternity. Wonderful Counsellor! give thy people grace to listen to thy gracious and divine teaching, "and to buy of thee gold tried in the fire." (Revelation 3:18)
