The title 'Mighty God' signifies Jesus' divine attributes and His unique capacity to fulfill the requirements of God's law.
The designation 'Mighty God' points to Jesus' divine authority and nature. As explained in the sermon, only God possesses the power to enable redemption and uphold justice, demonstrating that Jesus, as the Messiah, embodies these divine traits. The early church recognized this truth as foundational, affirming that if Jesus lacked divine attributes, His role as Redeemer would collapse. Therefore, acknowledging Jesus as the 'Mighty God' is central to understanding His qualifications to mediate between humanity and God, ensuring hope and assurance in the salvation He provides.
