Immanuel: The God Who is With Us
"So the message of Christmas is that we can know God—not just about God, but know God through our Lord Jesus, Immanuel. Salvation is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, who is the way to the Father. On the cross, Immanuel—God with us—becomes our Savior and our sin-bearer.
We live in a
chaotic world that often seems out of control. The world of COVID-19 has
resulted in divisions between those vaccinated and those not vaccinated. It has
resulted in isolation, social distancing, lockdowns, furloughs and great
personal anxiety and distress. But understanding this great truth of Immanuel
will give you stability, security, hope and confidence for the future: God is
with you. God is always with His people. Friends may forsake you; loved ones
may die; disasters may come; wars may approach; the economy may go into a
depression, but God is with you—for all of life, through the valley of the
shadow of death, and for all eternity. Don’t be shaken by your difficult
circumstances. Look to Immanuel: God with us.
This
Christmas, invite Immanuel to perform a miracle in your life. Receive Him as
your Savior. Trust Him with all your heart."
