Immanuel - God with us

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and will bear a son, and she will call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14, Matthew 1:23)

Go therefore and disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you all the days until the consummation of the age. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. (Revelation 21:3)

Christ is Immanuel - God with us. He is our Savior, Redeemer, Life-giver and indwelling Spirit. Actually the content of the entire New Testament is an Immanuel (Matthew 1:23; 18:20; 28:20, Revelation 21:3), and all the believers in Christ, as the members of Christ, are a part of this great Immanuel, the corporate Christ. which will consummate in the New Jerusalem. (2010 Summer Training, Message #5, II.G)

1. Christ is God incarnated,
Born according to God's plan
To bring divinity, into humanity,
By mingling with man.

Christ is God incarnated,
He became the Son of Man;
A man of flesh yet without sin,
Accomplishing redemption,
He was a perfect man.

* And He shall be named Jesus,

And called Emmanuel,
Hallelujah! God with us,

In man He came to dwell.

2. Christ is God incarnated,
How wonderful! How marvellous!
Incarnated so that He could
Live inside of you and me,
He's mingling now with us.

Christ is God incarnated,
He became the first God-man.
Oh! How glorious!
Now He lives inside of us,
Fulfilling God's great plan.
