Therefore,
the LORD Himself will give you a sign; Behold, a virgin will be with child and
bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 NASB
Isaiah speaks this prophecy which foreshadows the
Messiah some 700 years before Jesus is born. In the New Testament, Matthew1:18-23 recalls Joseph’s dream where an angel of the Lord confirms that the
child growing in Mary’s womb is conceived by the Holy Spirit and will fulfill
the prophecy in Isaiah. Immanuel, meaning God
with us, fulfills God’s promise. Jesus enters the world, and God’s presence
literally dwells alongside of humanity. Jesus, fully human and fully divine,
becomes God in tangible form.
God gives the law (Ten Commandments) through Moses,
but the sign of God’s unfailing love and
faithfulness comes completely through Jesus Christ. While Moses speaks God’s
law to the people, Jesus comes to personally fulfill the law. God yearns for an
intimate relationship with us.
Faithful
Father, Promise Keeper, grace comes
through the ages with ancient revelations, comes on the lips of angels who sing
of Your Glory, comes in the whispers of the Spirit; Grace comes with Immanuel,
Grace comes for me. Great is Your faithfulness. -dho
Focus Point: Jesus enters the world, and God’s
presence literally dwells alongside of humanity.
