Summary: Charles Spurgeon, the great preacher, whom many called "the prince of preachers" wrote this about our Savior, "Immanuel - God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our daily work, in our punishment, in our death, and now with us, or rather we with Him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendor."I love that one of the names for our Savior is Immanuel. Immanuel means God with us. That is the beauty of the Christmas story. God became a man. He came to us. We call him "Immanuel" because he's here. He not only was with the people who lived 2,000 years ago, He's here now too - with us. He came to save us - each of us who live right here and right now. And, as Jesus said just before He ascended back to Heaven, "surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."What a miracle to know that God is with us always! He pursues us. He seeks us out. And He remains with us through everything. This is what makes the Good News so very good. Tell someone about the God who is with us this Christmas season. Tell them that He came 2,000 years ago, died to pay the price for our wrongdoing, rose again, and now wants to live with us every moment of every day. There is no better news.
