Isaiah 7:14

12. Isaiah 7:14
New International Version
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.

13. The word “Emmanuel” comes from
the Greek rendering of two Hebrew
words, `immanu, “with us,” and ‘el,
“God” (thus in English it is found as
either “Emmanuel” or “Immanuel”).

14. Matthew 1:22 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”).

1.Live with us

3. He is for us

16. When we say God is With us:
1.He live with us

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to
empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has
been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not
sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with
confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace
to help us in our time of need

27. When we say God is With us:

28. Conclusion:
Because of Christ’s death and resurrection, we truly can
receive the gift of “God with us.” Not just with us, as a
friend who walks beside us, though He indeed does that.
But God with us, as in He comes to live inside us, giving us
strength in place of weakness, courage in place of fear, and
vibrant life in all those dark places that once felt dead.
