1. Matt 1(23)“BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”

2. Immanuel God With Us
 Col 1(13-20) For He (The Father) rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him, to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.
  Jesus is not a religious leader HE IS GOD!

3. Emmanuel's Perspective

4. NASA estimates the galaxy at 100,000 light-years across.
One light-year is about 5.88 trillion miles.

5. The Expanding Universe
Isa 9 (7a)There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom.

6. Why in a manger?
Luke 2(12)“This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” (A feeding trough)
1Jn 4(18)
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishmentand the one who fears is not perfected in love.

7. Emmanuel came low so we could go High!
Philippians 2(3 -8) Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

8. The Why of Immanuel
Matt 1(21-23)She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”
