Emmanuel - God with Us (Matthew 1: 23) The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel----- which means “God with us”. 1. Because man is often too busy running away from God. Gen. 28:16.
2. Because we fail to see His presence in others. Gen. 33:10
3. Because we allow our problems to keep us from seeing Him 2 Kings 6:17
God’s Passion for His People
4. Because our unbelief keeps us from recognizing Him for who he is. Luke 24: 28.
