Immanuel: God with us

God entered 2000 years ago in a small town near Jerusalem called Bethlehem.

Galatians 4:4

English Standard Version Chapter 4

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

2. Downsizing

Jesus downsized himself from Godhead, Godly attributes, Omniscient, Omnipresence, Omnipotence. Because servant in form of human and obedient to the point of death.

English Standard Version Chapter 2

5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Corinthians 5:21 says, "He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we could become the righteousness of God."

"He came to our place. He took our place. And he invites us back to his place."

3. Gift of Presence

English Standard Version Chapter 21

3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

Mathew 11:28

come to me all ye Burdened and heavy laden I will give you rest.

Do you have presence of God with you?
