God Really Is With Us
Isaiah 7:14 states, “Therefore the Lord himself
shall give you a sign; Behold a Virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and thou
shall call his name Immanuel.”
St. Matthew 1:23 quotes Isaiah’s prophesy and
further explains that Emmanuel means “God with us”. To a people long ago who were in great
darkness, God promised to send His son to be with us! It was a long time after Isaiah’s prophesy
before Christ was born, but god always keeps His promises
Christian musician be sure to remind everyone who takes part in your
Christmas musical ministry that Christ’s coming to earth in space and time was
a fulfillment of God’s promise to mankind that God really would come to earth
to dwell with us. Although you, as a
music minister, may believe that all those who minister musically with you know
all about the story of Christ’s coming to earth—tell them again!
I
get blessed just thinking about the fact that God was and is with us. We are not alone on this earth. We may not be able to see Him, but we can
experience His presence very, very near us at this time of Christmas. Christ came to abide with us—not just visit
us. He came to tabernacle with his children. Be sure to invite all who minister with you
to experience Christ in a special way as they music unto Hi. That will make their musicing real and very
special this Christmas season.
