In Isaiah 9:6, the Holy Scripture tells us: “For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace”. Let us briefly discuss the concept of “Mighty God” starting from the etymology of the word “mighty” which is a translation of the Hebrew word “gibbor” which is defined as “strength, power, hero, warrior”. Isaiah 9:6 thus tells us that Jesus is El Gibbor: the strong God, the God of power, our hero and warrior God.

Do you need power in your life? Jesus is El Gibbor – Mighty God and what we need is to trust Him! Therefore, having a strong God, let us not forget that when times are hard for us, we can call on Him, we can ask Him for help, we can seek Him, we can knock on Heaven’s gate for Him and He, being faithful, will come to our aid. Jesus Christ was born here on earth to be the lowest of the low, to be the servant of servants, because He loved us and wanted to give us an example of how we should serve others. But make no mistake: Jesus Christ is the Mighty and Almighty God, He is our Hero God, He is our Warrior God.

Prayer

Lord, our Strong and Almighty God, we thank You so much because we can rely on You whenever we need help, and we can call you Father. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming into this world, living a humble life and showing Your love till death on a cross. We thank You, Holy Spirit, that You remind us every year that a Savior has been born to us and that whoever believes in Him and receives Him in his heart will never perish, but will have eternal life. We want this Christmas to proclaim to the world about You and to tell You, with all our hearts, that we love You and are waiting for You to come back for us as You promised. To You be all glory, honor, and praise forever and ever! In the Name of the Lord Jesus, we pray. Amen!
