"... And His name shall be called Wonderful Counsellor, The Mighty God ..." Isaiah 9:6
In a time when pagans worshipped a number of things that they called gods, the prophet Isaiah predicted the conception and birth of The Christ, 'The Mighty God', some 400 years before the event was to happen.
As opposed to the single focused, ineffectual, pagan gods, Isaiah prophesied about an all-powerful, all-knowing 'Mighty God'. Not only was He a powerful warrior, as mentioned in Ezekiel 38 & 39, but He could protect you, lead you, help you, keep you safe, provide for you, and fight your battles.
This 'Mighty God' can supply all of your needs and He is gracious enough to give some of your wants. Why would you worship, be a fanatic for, or get excited about something or someone who cannot do a thing for you.
Jesus, The Christ, is God. He is special and everything about Him is special, including His birth, which was predicted more than 400 years beforehand.
Have a Merry Christmas and remember to keep Christ in your Christmas celebrations.
