"What's in a name?" Shakespeare's Juliet certainly thought that a name was an artificial and meaningless convention. However, we see significance in Scripture when it comes to names -- especially the names of God. We Are Messengers, in their song "God With Us," point us to the name "Emmanuel" spoken of in the Old Testament, but revealed in the Christmas story in Matthew 1. "Emmanuel" is "God with us."
Join me this week as we explore the significance of this name...God with us.
On this episode I discuss:
Read Matthew 1 and 2 this week and reflect on the significance of the name given to Jesus from birth, Immanuel - God with us. Explore further understanding of the person of Christ by reading more in a systematic theology book or listening to the podcast I reference in Additional Resources in the shownotes. Consider what it means to us today to have the mind of Christ by reading and meditating on Philippians 2.
