Matthew 1:22-23
Jesus is Born and God is With Us
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
Isaiah 7:14
A Virgin Will Give Birth
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
The Bible makes reference to a virgin birth to a Boy and this virgin birth would be a special sign for mankind...
Many years ago, Isaiah wrote that God Himself would give us this special sign...We can read Isaiah's words and see that this Boy would make an unusual and extraordinary entrance into this world...And that special sign Isaiah writes about would come true...A virgin would conceive and give birth to a Son, and we would call Him Immanuel...Hundreds of years later, Jesus is born and sometimes He is called Immanuel, which means God is with us or God with us...This virgin message is historical fact for Christians...The birth date of this Boy is Christmas...And this Special Sign is also a Special Son because He is the Eternal Son of God...
And this was done by God, that it might be an Old Testament prophecy for the Messiah to be born...And this prophecy would be fulfilled which was spoken by God through the prophet Isaiah, saying: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and will call him Immanuel."...God sent us a Son to dwell with us and be human like us and to struggle with the human condition as we do, yet never to sin and always do the will of God...Truly a God that LOVES us, understands us, and who is with us...So God is with us each and everyday...This is why Christmas is a special day...
