Immanuel

"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given,
And the government will be upon His shoulders.
And His name will be called ~
WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, MIGHTY GOD, EVERLASTING FATHER, PRINCE OF PEACE."
(Isaiah 9:6)
Isaiah prophesied this around 700 years before Christ birth, which we mark this day. It doesn't mean He was born on this particular day. But, it reveals that the historical person documented in so many nation's records was born, and it was prophesied. It's a mighty thing to comprehend. His name (also prophesied in Isaiah 7:14) tells it all, "Immanuel," meaning God with us. If God is Love as I John 8 tells us, then Love is with us. I John 4:16 went on to say, "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him." Immanuel. God be with us.
