Immanuel: God with Us Christmas 2014

Immanuel: God with Us

We are limited in many ways, but God is not. God is infinite in many ways, but we are not.

Immanuel: God with Us Focusing on our limitations highlights our inadequacy. Focusing on God’s endless abilities highlights his glory.

Immanuel: God with Us We and God are very different. But God has chosen not to be distant. He has entered out world and is now with us to stay.

Immanuel: God with Us Five Passages We Will Read Today: Exodus 3:1-12 Isaiah 7:14, 9:1-7 Matthew 1:18-25 Matthew 28:18-20 Colossians 1:15-29

Immanuel: God with Us Exodus 3:1- 12

The Lord saw people suffering in bondage. He sent Moses to lead them to freedom. When Moses looked at himself, he didn’t think he was fit to accomplish the task. God responded by saying, “But I will be with you…”

Immanuel: God with Us Isaiah 7:14, 9:2-7

Immanuel means “God is with us.” His birth would bring great joy. He would reign forever over on David’s throne. He would be the perfect expression of God’s presence.

Immanuel: God with Us Matthew 1:18- 25

The name Jesus means “salvation” or “Yahweh saves.” Jesus was not conceived by a human father, but by a supernatural act of the Holy Spirit. In Christ, God the Son took upon himself true humanity. He is genuinely “God with us” as Isaiah prophesied.

Immanuel: God with Us Matthew 28:18- 20

Like Moses, we have received a mission to proclaim release from suffering and bondage – not of Egypt, but of sin. Like Moses, we may not feel well-suited for the task. Like Moses, God has promised to be with us – but in our case, to the very end of the age.

Immanuel: God with Us Colossians 1:15-29

If we know Jesus, we are now subjects in his kingdom. Clothed in humanity, he is the exact representation of God. He rules over everything. We are reconciled to God by the blood of his cross. And Christ remains with us by dwelling within us.

Immanuel: God with Us

When Christ promised to be with us, he was committing to doing something that was promised in long ago. As “God with us,” it is in fact an aspect of his identity. He won’t have it any other way.

Immanuel: God with Us The question now remains with us. Have we been reconciled to God through his cross? Have we given him the place he desires – and deserves – in our lives? Are we committed to the enterprise of making disciples?

Immanuel: God with Us Two opportunities lie before us: A chance to receive forgiveness of sins based upon Christ’s death upon the cross. A chance to recommit ourselves to the Great Commission.

Receiving Forgiveness through Christ

Heavenly Father, I confess to you that I am a sinner and that I need your forgiveness.

Receiving Forgiveness through Christ Heavenly Father, I confess to you that I am a sinner and that I need your forgiveness. I accept the perfect sacrifice of Christ on the cross as the just payment for my sins.
