JESUS IS IMMANUEL - To say that Jesus would be called "Immanuel" means Jesus is God and that He dwelt among us in His incarnation and that He is always with us. Jesus was God in the flesh. Jesus was God making His dwelling among us

Jesus Is Immanuel

Why wasn't Jesus named Immanuel?

In the prophecy of the virgin birth, Isaiah 7:14, the prophet Isaiah declared, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel."

This prophecy refers to the birth of Jesus in Matthew 1:22-23, "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 'The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel' which means, 'God with us.'"

This does not mean, however, that the Messiah’s name would actually be Immanuel.

There are many names given to Jesus using the phrase “He shall be called,” both in the Old and New Testaments.

This was a common way of saying that people would refer to Him in these various ways.

Isaiah prophesied of the Messiah, “His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6).

None of these titles was Jesus’ actual name, but these were descriptions people would use to refer to Him forever.

Luke tells us Jesus “shall be called the Son of the Highest” (Luke 1:32) and “son of God” (Luke 1:35), but neither of these was His name.

In two different places, the prophet Jeremiah says in referring to the coming Messiah, “And this is His name by which He shall be called, YHWH, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:5-6. 33:15-16).

Jesus was never actually called Yahweh as though it was His name, but His role was that of bringing the righteousness of Yahweh to those who would believe in Him, exchanging that righteousness for our sin (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Therefore, this is one of the many titles or “names” which belong to Him.

In the same way, to say that Jesus would be called "Immanuel" means Jesus is God and that He dwelt among us in His incarnation and that He is always with us.

Jesus was God in the flesh. Jesus was God making His dwelling among us (John 1:1,14).

No, Jesus' name was not Immanuel, but Jesus was the meaning of Immanuel, "God with us."

Immanuel is one of the many titles for Jesus, a description of who He is. 

God wanted to reveal Himself to mankind and be worshiped in spirit and in truth.

Visible representations of Him can never reveal His glory, His love or His holiness. 

Only when one meets Him through a saving relationship with Jesus Christ will we know what the true God is like.

Why not accept God's gift of salvation and become His child?

Open your heart and say this prayer:

“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You.

I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.

Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.

I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.

I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank You that according to your Word, I am now born again.

Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I promise to study Your Word – the Bible.

Please use me for Your glory.

In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”

lyrics

He walked where I walked

He stood where I stand
He felt what I feel
He understands

.

He knows my frailty
Shared my humanity
Tempted in every way
Yet without sin

.

God with us!
So close to us
God with us
Emmanuel

.

God with us!
So close to us
God with us
Emmanuel
Emmanuel

.

One of a hated race
Stung by the prejudice
Suffering injustice
Yet He forgives!

.

Wept for my wasted years

He paid for my wickedness
He died in my place
That I might live

.

God with us!..
So close to us

God with us
Emmanuel...

God IS GOOD

God is good
We sing and shout it
God is good
We celebrate
God is good

.
No more we doubt it
God is good
We know it's true

And when I think of His love for me
My heart fills with praise and I feel like dancing
For in His heart there is room for me And I run with arms open wide
