Jesus
was also called Emmanuel (Matthew 1:23). Emmanuel means ‘God with us.’
This is the great message that comes to us from the first chapter of the
New Testament. God has not remained in heaven. He has come to earth.
Along with the Name, Emmanuel, there is the better - known Name - Jesus.
The Name of Jesus means “He saves” (Matthew 1:21,25). In the two Names -
Emmanuel and Jesus, we have the Good News of our salvation. God has
come to earth - that’s the meaning of the Name, Emmanuel. He has come to
save us - that’s the meaning of the Name, Jesus.
God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).
