Emmanuel: A Christmas Devotional, Day 1, God with Us

November 12, 2019

December 1:

"The virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel." Isaiah 7:14

Daily Reflection:

This month we focus on Christ’s coming into the world as a newborn baby, on God wrapping himself in human flesh, taking on our vulnerabilities, our brokenness, to save us…not just in the blink of an eye. He chose to walk our world for three decades. The name of God Emmanuel means just that “God With Us”.

Isaiah, in this scripture, prophecies Jesus’ coming to be with us. Emmanuel: God with us. Those three words speak volumes of who Jesus is.

  • GOD with us: He is fully God, Divine.
  • God WITH us: He is present, actively engaged
  • God with US: It is for humanity that he became a person just like us.

Let’s spend this month, digging deeper into how God has been our Emmanuel since the start and how he continues to do that even into our age!

 

Daily Prayer:

Father, people of our time are hurting with so much pain, sickness, and suffering. We need to know we are not alone in this life. We need to have you with us, your power, and your understanding.  We beg you to stay with us, to never leave us. We need you, our Creator, our Almighty God. Thank you for sending Jesus, to fulfill this prophecy, born of a virgin, to be Emmanuel, God with us. Open our hearts to know what that means for us this Christmas season. Draw us even closer into your arms.

 

Digging Deeper:

What do you think it must have been like for God to become a person?

I love how humbly Moses begins his leadership. The mighty man of God who God will use to perform miracle after miracle, whose face will shine from being in God’s glory…this same man begs God to send someone else at the start.

Emmanuel: A Christmas Devotional, Day 4, God with Jacob Again

We are hanging out with Jacob again today. Decades have passed. He now has 11 sons and several daughters from four wives. He still lives in his Uncle Laban’s household where he’s worked since he ran away from home years before. God is clearly with him. His flocks increased while Laban’s decreased. Jacob anxiously notices his Uncle’s and cousins’ jealousy. At that time God once again intervenes.

Turn the page in your Bible from where we were yesterday and we see God promising his presence again, this time to Jacob who is on his way to hideout at his Uncle’s place. He tricked his brother Esau and now runs away to avoid revenge. In the middle of his fleeing, he falls asleep on a rock (I’ve always found that odd!). God speaks with him while he sleeps and promises to keep the covenant he had promised to Jacob’s father Isaac and grandfather Abraham. God promises to be with Jacob and watch over him wherever he goes.
