"They shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
Matthew 1:23
"Do you know what 'God with us' means? Has it been God with you in your tribulations by the Holy Ghost's comforting influence? Has it been God with you in searching the scriptures? Has the Holy Spirit shone on the word? Has it been God with you in conviction, bringing you to Sinai? Has it been God with you in comforting you, bringing you to Calvary? Do you know the full meaning of the name, Emmanuel, 'God with us'? No, he who knows it best knows little of it. He who knows it not at all is so ignorant that his ignorance is not bliss, but will be his damnation. 'God with us'-it is eternity's sonnet, heaven's hallelujah, the shout of the glorified, the song of the redeemed, the chorus of angels, the everlasting oratorio of the great orchestra of the sky."
Charles Spurgeon
