EMMANUEL

    If God came to earth, would we believe He would reveal Himself in a human body, beginning as a baby in a woman's womb?
   We would likely say no.
   But that's exactly what He did.
      "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS:  for he shall save his people from their sins."  (Matthew 1: 21)

   If God came to earth and dwelt among us, would we believe He would allow men to crucify His body to a cross for the sins of the world?
   We would likely say no.
   But that's exactly what He did.
      "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."  (John 3: 16)

  If God should resurrect His body from death and ascend to heaven, would we believe He will return in the same human body to gather His people unto Himself?
   We would likely say no.
   But that's exactly what He will do.
      "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."   (Acts 1: 11)

   "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

   "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written."  (John 21: 25)

   Emmanuel:  God with us. 

   Till we meet again.
