We examined the angelic proclamation to Joseph, in which it was told Jesus will be called Emmanuel (God with Us), from the following 3 points: –
- God does not want to be Without Us
God pursues a relationship with mankind – He did not institute a religion. In God’s eyes, we are valuable and precious as we were created in His image. As with everything created by God, we were all created with a Divine Purpose.
- God is for Us
God wants and He has His best for us. Whatever we face in this world does not change the truth that God is for us and He has His best for us. The key is to tap into the higher reality made possible by God with Us.
- God made a way and God will always make a way
All these are made possible by the death of Jesus on the cross. Jesus, who died on the cross and Who was rose from the dead – was a graphic image of a God Who is waiting to embrace all that will come to Him. By having a foundation of our relationship with God on the cross, we will never doubt God’s love and power in our lives.
Matthew 1:23
