Emmanuel -- God With Us

When God sent His Son to be the Savior, He was wasn't quite what many Jews were expecting. But God always knows what He is doing and why He is doing it.

There was a purpose that Jesus was born in very humble settings, with shepherds being among the first to be told of His birth, and to come and see Him lying in a manger.

There was a purpose that Gentile wise men would see a star and search for the newly born King that they might honor Him with their gifts.

Even when Jesus grew up and spoke great truths and did amazing miracles, some still would not accept this was the Messiah. Some did. Many did not.

Today there are Jews who have heard about Jesus, read about Him, and have come to believe in Him as their Messiah, Savior, and Lord. I hope more will come to know the truth about Jesus. Jesus is indeed Emmanuel, God with us.
