Emmanuel - God With Us

 

About 700 years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah foretold of His birth.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:6 KJV

He would be a son.

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS…" - Matthew 1:21 KJV

He would bring the kingdom of God to Earth.

"Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom…" - Isaiah 9:7

This son would be the Mighty God in a human body.

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." - Matthew 1:23 KJV

This son would be the Everlasting Father revealed in flesh as a man.

"He that hath seen me hath seen the Father;" - John 14:9 KJV

This son would be the Prince of Peace.

"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself..." - Colossians 1:20 KJV

We find peace within when we are filled with His Spirit the Holy Ghost.

"For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." - Romans 14:17 KJV

When the angel Gabriel told Mary that the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee and she would have a baby, Mary said,

"...Be it unto me according to thy word." - Luke 1:38 KJV

When the angel Gabriel came to Joseph in a dream he told him,

"Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." - Matthew 1:20 KJV

On the night that Jesus was born, the angel of the Lord announced His birth to shepherds that were in the field.

"And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." - Luke 2:10-11 KJV

Suddenly all the angels began praising the Lord! They said,

"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."
