ImmanuelMatthew 1:23
No. 223"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us").Matthew 1:23
The whole message of Christmas is contained in one name: Immanuel. God didn't send a message. He didn't send a representative. He came Himself. He became one of us so He could be with us. God with us — the most extraordinary claim in human history.
Reflect
How does it change your day to remember that the God of the universe has specifically chosen to be with you?
Prayer
Immanuel, thank You for coming. For not staying distant. For becoming human to be with me. Let me live in the awareness of Your presence. Amen.
