God with us

Isaiah 7:14 | All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).

Matthew 1:22-23 | All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet:  “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’”

• What title was given to Jesus in the Old Testament and at His birth? What does it mean? 

• In what ways was Jesus “God with us” while in human form? 

• Because Jesus became human (and is Immanuel), what kinds of things did He experience? How does it help you to know that Jesus understands your struggles, temptations, and emotions?

• Do you feel God with you each day? If so, in what ways and what does His presence mean to you? If not, why do you think that is? What can you change?
