“21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet saying, 23. 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.”
Merry Christmas! There is a very important truth we can find in verse 23, Emmanuel means God with us. The devil has attacked the deity of Christ in many different religions today! Many want to say that Jesus was the son of God and nothing more. There are many other scriptures that proves Jesus Christ was God himself in fleshly form, but when we look at the birth of Christ in Matthew anyone can clearly see that the Bible says Jesus Christ was God. Emmanuel means God with us! What an amazing God. He came to this sin cursed earth and died for His creation(man) that He loved so much! Today, try to remember that Christmas is not about getting, but about giving! Jesus gave it all to pay for our sins!
