God With Us!
The Lord has come!
I was excited this morning to put the star on top of my tree that had the name Immanuel written across it. He came to earth, He is still with us! I rejoice today that I serve a living Saviour, a risen King. He is ever present and has promised to always be with us. I am so grateful for that today. Immanuel - the title reveals so much about His character; that He would dwell among us tells us of His love for us. Take time to meditate on these verses and grasp the reality of Immanuel.
Stay tuned for a final reflection on this advent journey.
"Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which translated means, "God with us." - Matthew 1:23
"For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." - Philippians 2:9-11
Dear Jesus,
I rejoice with an excited heart that you are with us. I praise You for coming to this earth, for living a sinless life, for dying on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and for rising again and being our Lord! Thank You! Amen.
