THE LIVING GOD – IMMANUEL

Spread the love

As I opened my Christmas cards this year, I was amazed.  Each of them had #Peace or #Rest or #Calm with a blue and white template.  Very telling about this year’s #need.  Through the years I have observed jingle bells, santa, snow scenes with churches. warm fireplaces and even Xmas on cards, but the manager scenes were the main spotlight on the cards which I received.  Today fewer people even send cards in this email – text society; however, I do enjoy a beautiful hand picked card thoughtfully chosen by a friend which has been delivered to me personally.  You know God has written each of us a personal message through His Word which was delivered in person by His Son – IMMANUEL – JESUS.   Isaiah, the prophet,  first foretold us in Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign -Behold a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name IMMANUEL.”  Matthew 1:22-23 “Now all this took place that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet (Isaiah) might be fulfilled, saying..BEHOLD THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME ‘IMMANUEL’  which translated means ‘GOD WITH US‘.”  Send a card, send a text, shout it out – Jesus, son of God, Immanuel, is GOD WITH US who is the prince of peace!
