God Is with Us
Daily Devotion for December 27, 2017
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel.”
—Matthew 1:22-23 NIV
Have you ever wondered why Jesus wasn’t named Immanuel? In Hebrew Immanuel means “God is with us.” Jesus did not have to bear the name Immanuel because He was God among humankind. This is the message of Christmas: God is with us.
Today’s Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for being Immanuel!
