In Christ's body on the cross, God reconciled us to Himself, not counting our sins against us.Because of our sin we deserve God's wrath. But by His death, Jesus Christ paid completely for all of our sins. Now we have peace with God! And because Jesus rose from the dead, we have eternal and abundant life!
Put your faith in Jesus. Be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins! Receive Christ's Body and Blood, given and shed for you!
"Immanuel" means "God with us"
How can one man's death accomplish so much? We find the answer from two men, one a prophet of Israel, the other an eyewitness to all that Jesus said and did.
Isaiah writes, "So the LORD Himself with give you this sign: A virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and she will name Him Immanuel [God with us]."
John tells us, "In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God....The Word became Human and lived among us. We saw His glory. It was the glory that the Father shares with His only Son, a glory full of kindness and truth...."
Jesus was (and is) God in the flesh--God with us!
