names of God: Emmanuel

names of God: Emmanuel by ric gustafson


Matthew 1:23- ' And they shall call his name Emmanuel'


This term refers to God the Son. Emmanuel means God with us. Joseph being an honorable man was espoused to Mary but the marriage was not consummated when she was impregnated by the Holy Ghost. Joseph was going to quietly send her away when an angel came and explained the true nature of the child. The assurance that God is always with us is a blessing. If God is for us, who can be against us.
