Introduction
The word Immanuel is second only to the word Lord in Christian worship.
The Incarnation is the noblest idea of any world religion.
God did not watch human despair from the safety of heaven.
He clothed Himself in humanity.
He ceased watching the human war and became a soldier.
Oh, the things that God experienced in becoming a man:
• the blistering summer sun,
• the shivering rains of winter,
• the pains of hunger when He fasted
after His baptism,
• the desperation of bereavement when
His earthly father died,
• the empathy of a mother's tears when
she stood at the cross,
• the disappearance of all friends at His
arrest in Gethsemane,
• the pain of a friend's denials when Peter
failed before the truth,
• the staggering shock of treachery by
His friend Judas,
• the horror of naked judgment with no
one to speak on His behalf,
• the agony of crucifixion where He
experienced the punishment of a convict,
• the agony of death,
• the loneliness of being forsaken
by everyone.
All these things—when put together-spell Immanuel.
These things are what the God of all mercy took upon Himself.
But why did He do it?
Because these sorts of things form the fabric of all of our living.
We cannot live without bumps and pains, without heartache and desolation, without mosquito bites and cancer.
Immanuel was God saying, “You shall not bear such pain alone.”
God became flesh to redeem.
Let Jesus be incarnate in your life, and then maybe when you have stooped to serve the desperate and dying, you will hear them say the word Immanuel.
When Christ becomes incarnate in your life, you will hear those you serve saying to you, “I cannot help but believe in Christ.
I have seen Him in your life.”
This is true Joy… When you have Jesus with you…
Joy to the world…
