The dictionary defines Emmanuel as “the name given to Christ as the deliverer of Judah prophesied by Isaiah.”
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” – Isaiah 7:14 (King James Version)
“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 (King James Version)
God isn’t way up in Heaven somewhere. He came down to visit us. To spend time with us. To get to know us. To be with us.
From the Sovereign Grace song “Emmanuel, Emmanuel”
Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Emmanuel
In You alone we hope and trust
Jesus, Savior, God with us
Emmanuel
