Emmanuel
The Old Testament prophets did not know when their words would come to pass; they simply recorded what the Spirit of God showed them. So when Isaiah wrote, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel” (Matt. 1:23; cf. Isa. 7:14 KJV), he had no idea when this would take place.
Emmanuel means “God with us.” Jesus’ presence on earth was the first step in reestablishing the intimacy man lost in the Garden of Eden. His life was God’s personal expression of loving intent toward us. Today, we can rejoice in the incomparable blessing of living within the fulfillment of the promise the Lord gave the world through Isaiah thousands of years ago.
Activity: Enjoy His presence: Watch your favorite Christmas movie and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal something new about God’s nature through it.
