Why Jesus Is Immanuel

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).”
Matthew‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭

Merry Christmas from Perch.Church! We hope and pray this season would be a blessed one of hope, love, peace, and joy. May we remember and meditate on the fact that Jesus came as a baby because God wanted to intimately know the joys, struggles, and pain we all experience as humans. We don’t have a God who is unfamiliar with our suffering but a “Man of Sorrows” who is very familiar with all that we endure. This is why He is called Immanuel, God with us.
