Isaiah 7:14 (NIV)
14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a
sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will
call him Immanuel.
God is interested in us personally. So much so, that he
personally gives us this sign. Because of Matthew's explanation of the meaning
of the name Immanuel, we know what that sign was - Jesus coming to live as God
with us. His presence is God's presence. His life is God's sign. The miracle of
his conception is God's mystery and also his statement of grace for us.
Thought for today:
Am I neglecting and blocking the calling of what is birthed in me?
