Emmanuel, God With Us

What does the name “Emmanuel” mean?
“God with us.” In Matthew 1:18-25, an angel tells Joseph that Mary’s child will be Emmanuel — God come to dwell with His people. In this study, Dr. Toby Holt explains the comfort packed into that name.
Mary was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit while only engaged to Joseph — a scandal in that culture. Joseph, a good man, planned to quietly end the engagement until an angel explained that the child was from God. The angel gave two names: “Jesus,” meaning the Lord saves, “for He will save His people from their sins”; and “Emmanuel,” meaning “God with us.” Dr. Holt draws out the difference between a God who is merely for us from a distance and a God who comes to be with us — in the manger, and to the end of the age.
Questions this study answers:
1. What is the difference between God being “for” us and “with” us? A God who is only “for” us helps from a distance, but a God who is “with” us draws near and shares our life. Emmanuel means God came to be with His people.
2. What did the angel tell Joseph? The angel said Mary’s child was from the Holy Spirit and must be named Jesus, for He would save His people from their sins. The news turned a scandal into salvation.
3. What comfort does “God with us” give the hurting? It assures us we are never alone. The God who came as a baby promises to be with His people always, even in their deepest pain.
“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)
