Isaiah 7:14 in the New International Version of the Bible reads: “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”
Immanuel, meaning “God with us” reminds Christians of God’s presence and support in every circumstance. The birth of Jesus embodies the truth that God is not distant but actively involved in our lives. As we celebrate Christmas, let us be assured that we do not we do not lead alone. The presence of Immanuel assures us that God walks alongside us in our Christian journey, providing guidance, strength and comfort.

When we face challenges, may we find comfort in knowing that you are Immanuel – God with us. Guide us, O Lord, and be our constant companionin every aspect of our lives. Amen
