Our Wonderful Counsellor
We live in a world that constantly seeks sound counsel from qualified advisors, and it’s good to have a number of wise human counsellors. A great deal of a counsellor’s time is given to listening. I guess we all have times when we are in need of the counsel of a trusted friend with a listening ear and some solid experience, but there is only one Wonderful Counsellor! Jesus Christ.
He is the sum total of all knowledge—all wisdom, all truth, all counsel . . . He knows everything about everything.
One eighteenth-century Methodist commentator, Joseph Benson, says it so well: "He is wonderful in His person, as God and man . . . He is also wonderful with respect to His birth, life, doctrine, miracles; His love and sufferings; His death, resurrection, and ascension; His humiliation and exaltation; His cross and crown; His grace and glory."
The Lord is always ready to listen to what we are feeling or experiencing. We never have to make an appointment; He is available to us 24 hours a day. Now that’s very good news!
Jesus, our Wonderful Counsellor.

About this Plan
This is the season! Of joy, traditions, family, and connectedness. However, in the chaos and fun that is so often Christmas, it is all too easy to lose sight of the reason for it all. We asked some of our contributors to reflect on what Christmas means to them. Our hope is that this plan will help you pause to take time to explore what Christmas means to you personally.
