IMMANUEL...GOD WITH US.
Mat 1:23
From the earliest of our times, even before the fall of man, as written in the book of Genesis, there have been visions and predictions of a time when the world would see our Savior. For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. {Isa 9:6}
King Solomon finished building the great temple to God then publicly posed the following question; "But will God indeed dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built. { 2Ch 6:18}
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (2) He was in the beginning with God. (3) All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. (14) And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. {Joh 1:1-3,14}
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ writes; By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory. {1Ti 3:16}
On the First day of the week, (Sunday), the risen Christ appeared in the flesh to ten of the disciples gathered behind closed and secured doors. There were only ten because Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus was dead and another was not there at that hour.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. (25) So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." (26) After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." (27) Then He *said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing." (28) Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" (29) Jesus *said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed." {Joh 20:24-29}
Do you believe? I pray that you do. We all will see Him soon; believer and non-believer. That at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth. {Php 2:10}
Jesus, The King, Our Lord, Our Savior, Our God!
