25 Days Of Christmas
DAY 3: IMMANUEL
Where To Start
Read Isaiah 7:14 and then watch the DAY THREE video.
Prophecy often has an immediate and an ultimate fulfillment. The foothills are placed in the forefront with the Rocky Mountains in the background.
During a military crisis, the prophet Isaiah reassured Ahaz, the king of Judah, that Syria and Israel would not defeat him.
Over 700 years later, the Virgin Mary would conceive through the Holy Spirit, and Jesus was born to bring salvation.
This miracle glorifies God and is confirmed in the Gospel of Matthew. God is with us.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
HOPE POINT
God is with us.
Reflection Question: Why did Jesus leave heaven and become human?
PRAYER
Gracious God, thank You for Your grace. Your presence means everything to us. We draw near to You today. Your mercy is greater than our sin. Thank You, Jesus, for saving us. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for dwelling in us. We love You, Lord, and pray in Your name. Amen.
