The Names of Jesus

Here’s a harsh truth for us to accept church, when you minister to others you may well meet with unkindness and ungratefulness….and if your motivation for this selfless service is love for others, you will become exhausted in the battle of life and you will be tempted to throw in the towel. But…. if the motivation of your service is love for God, then no ingratitude, no sin, no person, no devil, will keep you from serving your neighbour, no matter how they treat you.

This peace passes all understanding; it is of a very different nature because it is a peace which God dispenses; it’s a mystery – felt by all that call Jesus Lord, but can be explained by none; it is intimate relationship with the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. And so here’s what that means for you….this peace that is different than the world gives.

Who is Immanuel to you? God, took on flesh, took on substance that we might see Him, as John says: that we might touch Him, that we might worship Him, that we might hear Him. God took upon Himself human form, Jesus came as a baby and grew into a man, fully God yet fully man. He could be seen, He could be touched, people could hear Him speak. Immanuel, God with us. Do you see Immanuel is with you?
