Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel, which is translated “God is with us.” Matthew 1:22-23
God with us.
The Creator and Sovereign Lord of the the universe
Is here.
Present.
Immanent.
God with us.
Our intermediary.
Our go-between.
The One who takes our case,
Who argues on our behalf.
God with us.
Here.
Experiencing life like us.
Heartache like us.
Joy like us.
God with us.
Identifying with us.
Substituting Himself for us.
Saving us.
Delivering us.
Never leaving.
Never forsaking us.
Immanuel.
Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! 1 John 3:1a
