Happy Monday!
Immanuel
Exposure: Read the passages about Immanuel. Make a sign that reminds you
that God is with you and hang it up somewhere that you see often.
Exploration: Immanuel means "God with us." How is Jesus still "God with us" even now that He's not walking on the earth?
Expression: How is God "for" us different than God "with" us? What are some ways you sense God with you?
Experience: Discuss with friends or family or journal about a time in
your life when you felt the closest to Jesus. Make plans to do something
today to get closer to God. How important is it to seek to experience
that closeness all the time?
Matthew 1:22-23
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23 "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son
Isaiah 7:10-15
10 Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11 "Ask a sign of the Lord your 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 he 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. 15 He shall eat curds and honey when he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good.
John 1:14
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we
have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of
grace and truth.
