Immanuel — God With Us is a devotion on Seasons of Life, Matthew 1:23. Originally written 2023 by Nancy Kohrs and published by Lutheran Women's Missionary League.
Isaiah 7:1–16 (Listen) Isaiah Sent to King Ahaz 7:1 In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it. 2 When the house of David was told, “Syria is in league with1 Ephraim,” the heart of Ahaz2 and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind. 3 And the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub3 your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. 4 And say to him, ‘Be careful, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah. 5 Because Syria, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has devised evil against you, saying, 6 “Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it4 for ourselves, and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,” 7 thus says the Lord GOD: “‘It shall not stand, and it shall not come to pass.8 For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. And within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered from being a people.9 And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you5 are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all.'” The Sign of Immanuel 10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz: 11 “Ask a sign of the LORD your6 God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” 12 But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the LORD to the test.” 13 And he7 said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary men, that you weary my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.8 15 He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 For before the boy knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land whose two kings you dread will be deserted.

In this session, we delve into the miraculous and humble birth of Jesus, the Messiah. God the Son leaves heaven to become a man, born to the virgin Mary and raised by Joseph. Proclaimed by angels and greeted by shepherds, Jesus' arrival marks the culmination of God's plan to solve the problem of sin and death. God the Son has a body prepared…prepared for a cross.Bible ReadingsLuke 1:26-56Matthew 1:1-25Luke 2:1-20Hebrews 10:5-7Philippians 2:5-11Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

This is message 8 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 7:1-16 The young King Ahaz of Judah faced a time of fear an uncertainty, yet God, in His mercy, sent the prophet to guide him. Through the prophecy of Immanuel, "God with Us," God assured Ahaz of His presence and power, calling him to trust in His promises instead of relying on human alliances. Though Ahaz failed to believe, the prophecy ultimately pointed to the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to dwell with His people.

Christmas celebrations don't always live up to our expectations and the season seems to come and go so quickly. But here's the good news, if we look behind all our yearly festivities to the reason we celebrate Christmas we find a message that never disappoints and a person that always exceeds the expectations of those who believe in him. John tells us why in the prologue to his Gospel about Jesus - John 1:1-18. Let's explore it together.

Let the sleigh bells ring! I love Christmas. Let the carolers sing. The more Santas the merrier. I don't complain...
Chris shares the miracle of God coming down to this earth to be with us, and how wonderful it is to be able to connect with Immanuel on a daily basis and use the skill of "Godsight" (Skill 13) to see what he sees when he looks at us and the people around us.

Can you think of a time you felt particularly close to God? For me, I often experience Him in nature. There's a mountain in North Carolina my family has spent a significant amount of time on. From it, you can look down on clouds and the Blue Ridge mountains and it never fails to bring me into a deeper awareness of God's presence with me.2. It can look a lot of ways, but as you think of your “God moment,” would you pray a prayer of appreciation (out-loud) of who the Lord is for you and your appreciation of His character. Perhaps one of the names of God has held special significance for you this season – thank Him for that.3. Now, knowing that He is Immanuel, notice where He is with you at this moment. The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to us, and so ask the Spirit for an awareness of God's presence with you.4. Ask Jesus directly what He wants you to know, or what His good plans for healing are for you today.For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.

The season of Christmas is a memorable time for many people. The special holidays and decorations accompany festive gatherings and events, especially those events centered around the incarnation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Yet, some people do not see Christmas as a time of celebration but a season of pain. Consumer Christmas and social media consistently remind us about the items we lack or the events we missed. Many people experience Christmas as a season of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. What truths can we remember during the Christmas season and the rest of the year to fight against depression, isolation, and worry? In this week's episode of the Biblical Counseling Podcast, Pastor Jeff Christianson draws the listener's attention to one of the greatest miracles ever performed: the incarnation. The Christmas season is a special time for reflecting upon the descent of the Son of God into our fallen world as God's Son took on human nature. Fully God and fully man, Jesus Christ is Immanuel, God with us. Pastor Jeff reminds us that the truths of Christmas should stagger us. Not only did the Son of God humble himself in an unfathomable manner, he promises to remain with us and abide within us. Jesus says in John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Biblical counselors must remind counselees of God's amazing promise to abide in his people forever. Christ's condescension and his perpetual identification with us in our humanity will forever bear witness to Christ's continual presence among his people. All other religions propose that we may dwell with God only after producing enough works to gain his pleasure; only Christianity speaks of a God who dwells among the lowly and secures as salvation at his own expense. At Christmas time, many sing the beloved hymn “O Come, O Come, Immanuel,” O come, O come, Immanuel, and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to you, O Israel. There are many people who struggle with feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression from being isolated from others. They may feel as if they are mourning in lonely exile. For example, many people who survive suicide attempts concede that they felt alone and believed that no one cared about them. While biblical counselors cannot promise to make themselves available to every counselees whenever a need arises, counselors can point counselees to the one who never leaves them nor forsakes them. The truth of Christ's perpetual presence among his people comforts the distressed soul. Furthermore, counselees can find repose from the fact that Christ understands feelings of loneliness and isolation, as he experienced abandonment of his friends at his most pressing hour. Struggling Christians can identify with their crucified savior who intimately knows the feelings of loneliness. Christians are responsible for making themselves available to those around them. During the business of the holiday season, events and checklists can overshadow real people who need company or a phone call. This holiday season or any time of year, who needs the comfort of your presence? Who needs your condescension into the mess of their lives? As Christians, do we model Christ's willingness to open himself up to the pain and suffering of others at the personal cost to himself? We who are rich in Christ, do we make ourselves poor out of love for others? Want to learn more?

The older I get, the harder it seems to get Christmas right. It's “complicated” to sort through all the moving parts and expectations of others. While I can't manage it well, or just won't, I can at any given time pause to remember what this sacred season is all about. Join me, the author of The Mystery of History, for a short reflection on Immanuel, which means “God with us.” I also have a historical re-enactment video of myself dressed up like Cleopatra—because she has an interesting connection to Bethlehem! I won't give it away here, but you can watch through the YouTube link provided below.https://youtu.be/aHpjbA30az4
What if you could experience the divine presence in your everyday life? Join as we unravel the profound beauty behind the name Immanuel, "God with us," by reflecting on the scriptures from Isaiah 7:14 and John 1:1-5. We discuss how Jesus chose to live the fullness of human experience, revealing the Father's extravagant love and becoming a living testament to God's heart. As we navigate through the joys and trials of the season, we offer insights into how Emmanuel remains with us, offering comfort and understanding in every circumstance. Whether you're feeling the festive spirit or facing challenges, be inspired by the assurance that Jesus, who experienced hunger, thirst, joy, and sorrow, continues to express God's love actively. Listen to this soulful reflection, and find solace in knowing that God loves you immensely and remains with you, whatever the season brings. This episode promises to enrich your understanding of the true gift of Christmas and invites you to recognize Jesus' enduring presence in your life.
In week 1 of our Christmas series, The Greatest Story in the Universe, Pastor Jeff Vines explores the profound truth behind the Christmas story. Against the backdrop of growing skepticism about celebrating Christmas, he confronts objections from groups that deny Jesus's divinity and challenges us to rediscover the wonder of Jesus' birth—not just as an historical event, but as the turning point of history. If Jesus is merely a baby in a crib, nothing changes. But if He is Immanuel—God With Us, then everything changes. Join us as we begin this transformative journey into the greatest story ever told.Did you decide to follow Jesus after listening to this?
