For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. – Isaiah 9:6-7 (ESV)

This child would not only be a man, but the Son of God! The second person of the Trinity made flesh. He became the perfect sacrifice, to take on our punishment for sin so that we could be with Him forever. Praise the Lord!
