"...you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means 'God with us')"
Matthew 1: 21-23
We are a rebellious people who sinned against the Most High God. Therefore, God sent Jesus into this world to save us and reconcile us to Him, the Holy God.
We are saved by His grace, yet we often forget to rejoice and thank God for what He has done for us. This Christmas and new year season, may we remember God and the miracle of Christmas--God made flesh to dwell among us in order that we have new life. Just like the frequent calls in the Old Testament, let us remember the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, His power, and the wonders He has done. May we remember, and may our hearts and lives be faithful to God in the last eight days of 2013 and in the new year. Emmanuel~
