As we reflect on the message of the fourth Sunday of Advent, I am reminded of the incredible truth that Emmanuel means “God with us.” This simple yet profound name captures the very essence of God’s love—a love so deep and unconditional that He stepped into our world to be with us.
This Advent season, we celebrate a love that came down to walk among us, to share in our joys and sorrows, and ultimately to save us. Matthew 1:23 reminds us, “They will call him Emmanuel” (which means ‘God with us’). What a gift we have in knowing that God chose to draw near to us, not because we deserved it, but because His love is limitless and unchanging.
As you prepare your heart for Christmas, take time to reflect on the beauty of this truth. God’s love is personal, present, and powerful. It reaches us no matter where we are or what we are going through. Let this love fill your heart and inspire you to share it with others.
May the love of Emmanuel bring you peace and joy as we approach the celebration of Christ’s birth.
In Christ’s Love,
Brother Jesse
