And He Shall Be Called Immanuel

And He Shall Be Called: Immanuel

December 25, 2017

Isaiah spoke often of the coming Messiah for the deliverance and salvation of God’s people.  As the angels spoke to John, they revealed the truth of the words from Isaiah.  “‘Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. ‘ Isaiah 7:14, NIV  As with many of the names given throughout the biblical text, names carry a significance and meaning as to the nature of a person.  Immanuel translates from the Hebrew to “God is with us.” The nature of Jesus’ relationship with mankind is summed up in with this name.

Advent: Immanuel

December 26, 2016

We have been looking through the various weeks of advent and at the end of the season of advent, we arrive at Christmas. While this does somewhat signify the end of the advent season, somehow calling it “the end” does not seem fair or fitting. The coming of Christ was by no means “the end” and his second coming will certainly not be the end either. It is the beginning. It is the beginning of new life. It is the beginning of healing. It is the beginning of redemption and our homecoming to our relationship with our Creator and Heavenly Father. Advent means Coming. Christmas reminds us that God has come and He is Immanuel, God with us.
