As written in Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given. And the government will be on His shoulders. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." King James is one of the few translations that separates "Wonderful" from "Counselor". It thereby attaches wonderful to all of the other names and attributes of Jesus Christ. In Hebrew, the word wonderful means "of miracles, of wonders".
There is much that is wonderful about the the gift that we receive in Christ. We are given our salvation which provides the miraculous cleansing of our souls and the miraculous ability to die to self and to self-identify with Jesus. What a wonderful gift that we have been given - one that we cannot receive apart from Jesus.
