ISAIAH 7:14 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”

INTRODUCTION Much of the world today has no real conception of what Christmas really means. To many, it is Santa Claus, gift-giving and partying big-time. No wonder the world insists on calling it just “another holiday.”

The deeper meaning of Christmas begins with the Christ Child being born in Bethlehem; Continuing with the gift of eternal life and the indwelling of Christ in our hearts; And Christians living in the continuing victory of the ever-present grace of God in our lives.

GOD WITH US Seven hundred years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah’s remarkable prophecy of our Lord’s birth was given to the people of Judah. Matthew records the message that the angel delivered unto Joseph which included a direct quotation from Isaiah 7:14. "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." Matthew 1:23 (NKJV).

GOD WITH US It is difficult to understand how anyone, Jew or Gentile, could doubt that Jesus, the Son of Mary, was the promised Messiah. That first Christmas in Bethlehem nearly two millennia ago should dispel all doubt for all time.

GOD WITH US Juan 1:14 “Ang Salita ay naging tao at nanirahan sa piling namin. Nakita namin ang kaluwalhatiang tunay na kanya bilang kaisa- isang Anak ng Ama. Siya ay puspos ng kagandahang-loob at ng katotohanan.”

GOD WITH US His miraculous birth, His sinless life, His atoning death and His glorious resurrection speak volumes confirming His Messiahship. God became man so that He could dwell among us…and ultimately to die for us. He is with us today in the Person of His Holy Spirit, as He said, “and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20 NKJV)

GOD IN US We stand in awe as we think of the God of heaven being with us every day and in every situation of life. But the Lord doesn’t stop there! WITH IN Praise His Name, He is not only WITH us but He is IN us.

GOD IN US si Cristo na nasa inyo Colossians 1:27 “Niloob ng Diyos na ihayag sa lahat ng mga Hentil ang dakila at kamangha-manghang hiwagang ito na walang iba kundi si Cristo na nasa inyo. Siya ang ating pag- asa na tayo'y makakabahagi sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos.”

GOD IN US IN God is IN us in the Person of His Holy Spirit. The precious Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Godhead. He is called “The Spirit of God” in 1 Corinthians 3:16; “The Spirit of Christ” in Romans 8:9 and our Lord Jesus called Him “The Holy Spirit” clearly setting forth His unique and distinct Personhood.

GOD IN US IN us Paul underscores the Spirit’s great work IN us, writing, into our hearts “But when the completion of the time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.” Galatians 4:4-7

GOD IN US God living in our hearts Think of the wonder of it all… of very God living in our hearts bringing comfort, strength, direction, teaching, assurance, divine fellowship and healing.

GOD FOR US FOR us The declaration: “God FOR us” is our guarantee and assurance of victory in our spiritual lives. This gives us confidence in every situation and struggle in life. Napoleon is quoted as having said “God is for the side of the army that has the largest number of battalions”. God has a different take on the subject.

GOD FOR US FOR The Word of God makes it indelibly clear that “God is FOR those who are the called according to His purpose of eternal salvation.” for us for us Paul leaves no doubt about this when he wrote to the church in Rome, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Romans 8: 31-32

GOD FOR US John, in writing to believers in general, shared this great truth; “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them (false prophets and false teachers); because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

CONCLUSION WITHIN FOR When we awake each new day with the realization that God is WITH us, IN us, and FOR us, that day comes equipped with the assurance that all things will be working together for our good. To God be the glory. AMEN.
