Matt. 1:18-25
 Matt.
1:23
 Isa. 7:14
 Isa. 8:18
10 Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz,
saying,
 11 Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it
either in the depth, or in the height above.
 12 But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I
tempt the Lord.
 13 And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is
it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye
weary my God also?
 14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a
sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a
son, and shall call his name Immanuel.


And he shall pass through Judah; he shall
overflow and go over, he shall reach even to
the neck; and the stretching out of his wings
shall fill the breadth of thy land, O
Immanuel.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be called
 Wonderful
 , Counsellor,
 The mighty God,
 The everlasting Father,
 The Prince of Peace.
 18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on
this wise: When as his mother Mary was
espoused to Joseph, before they came
together, she was found with child of the
Holy Ghost.
 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just
man, and not willing to make her a public
example, was minded to put her away
privily.
 20 But while he thought on these things,
behold, the angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou
son of David, fear not to take unto thee
Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived
in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt
call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people
from their sins.
 22 Now all this was done, that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the
prophet, saying,
 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall
bring forth a son, and they shall call his name
Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with
us.
 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as
the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took
unto him his wife:
 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth
her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

will do. Isa. 7:14
 In Matt. 1:23 He is about to be born

…What did they do about His promise
 To come? Rejected Him John 12:48

What did they do when He came—
 Rejected Him.

What do people do today? Refuse and
 Reject Him as being the Only Son of
God..Immanuel!

 His
name is Jesus. Matt. 1:21
 He really was born as a baby. Matt.1:18
 He really grew to be a man Luke 2:52
 He really did experience death for every
man. Heb. 2:9,10
 He really was buried in a tomb
 He was resurrected …really did come
forth out of the tomb Acts 17:30,31
 His Ascension—He really did go back to
Heaven and is seated at the right hand of
God. Heb. 12:1-2

He is our High Priest today….Heb.4:14-


Matt. 28:18-20 I will be with you

When do we know this is true:

Who offered sacrifice for his own sins,

Who offered sacrifice for the sins of
others…

John 9-11
9 Whosoever
transgresseth, and
abideth not in the doctrine of
Christ, hath not God. He that
abideth in the doctrine of Christ,
he hath both the Father and the
Son. 10 If there come any unto
you, and bring not this doctrine,
receive him not into your house,
neither bid him God speed: 11 for
he that biddeth him God speed
is partaker of his evil deeds.
 In
whom we have redemption, even the
 Forgiveness of sins.

Eph. 1:7 in whom we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
according to the riches of his grace;
 He
is our Immanuel…God with Us.
 Whatever
for us.
Jesus ask of God, it shall be done
I
am praying that God will help you to
 See Immanuel…God with us.
 Matt.
18:20 Where two or 3 are gathred
together in my name, there will I be in the
midst of them.
 God
is with us!.
 Now Faith---do you have faith…do you
 Believe in Him?

John 8:24 Except you believe that I am
He, you shall die in
 Your sins.
 To
Live without Immanuel…Is not to live at
all.
 To
Die without Immanuel..Is to have had
 A life which ends in eternal separation from
 The Father.—death..
 1.
To experience physical birth is to have
physical life.
 2.
To experience spiritual birth..born
again..is to have spiritual life.


2 Births….equal 2 Lifes…
Physical and Spiritual
1
Birth - 2 Deaths
 2 Births – 1 Death…
You take your choice..

Immanuel…He is Here. He wants you to
be His. But you have to want that too.


 Immanuel…Jesus
Christ, the child that
 Was to be born of a virgin, and was,
 The child that was called Wonderful,
 Counseler, Mighty God..and He is.
 The child that lived, died, raised, and
 Ascended to Heaven..
 It is true…Do you believe it? Yes Lord,
 I believe. Please help my unbelief!
