Ascend Advent 2022 Day 3: Immanuel – God with Us
Jesus has many names, each of which highlights a different part of His character or His mission. Last time we looked at His main two names: Jesus and Christ, but today we’ll look at a third, which is also found in the first chapter of Matthew’s gospel. Immanuel. Quoting the prophet Isaiah, Matthew tells us that this boy, born of a virgin, will be called Immanuel, which means ‘God with us’.
