Jesus
has multiple names. One of His central names is Emmanuel. The Father named
Jesus to reveal His promises to us. The name Emmanuel means God with us. Jesus
can tell us, I am Emmanuel. I am God with us, God with man, God with His
people.
As long as you have Jesus, you have God
with you. This is an immense revelation. Not only is Jesus our Savior, the One
who saves us from our sins, saving us from the wrath of God, but He is Himself
God and abides with us. God abides with you. The truth of being in Jesus
Emmanuel is the cause of great assurance. God is with us. God is with you. The God
of all creation, the God of salvation, the God of propitiation, the God of
glorification is with us.
