majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Matthew 1:23,
"All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the
prophet: 'The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel'—which means, 'God with us.'"
Matthew points out that Mary's pregnancy was a fulfillment of one of
Isaiah's prophecies. Of that prophecy, given in Isaiah 7:14, where
Isaiah says they will call the Son of the virgin, "Immanuel", Matthew
explains that name means, "God with us." Imagine, God with us!
Jesus arrived in a world lost in darkness. As a piercing light, he
illuminates the hearts of man to the things of God. He teaches that
mankind is lost in sin and through faith in him, sin can be forgiven.
The writer of Hebrews says, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory
and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by
his powerful word." Hebrews 1:3. When Jesus Christ arrived on planet
earth, he was what Paul described in Colossians 2:9, "in Christ all
the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form". He truly was, "God
with us"!
