When I have an opportunity to hang out with someone, my excitement level is dependant on the person. On Monday, I spent the whole day with my wife, two sons and daughter-in-law. That was the best. I was spending time with my family.
If I could spend time with a famous person, I may be exited. At the other extreme, I would not care to spend time with someone I do not know.
What is so special about Matthew quote of Isaiah, saying ‘God is with us’? Is God someone that you hardly know, so you do not really care if He is with you? It really depends on who God is.
- God is the one who spoke and the universe came into existence. At each stage of creation, God proclaimed the verdict that creation is good.
- God is the most powerful, He knows all things and He is everywhere.
- God pursued the Israelites for over 1000 years, seeking relationship with them as they rejected Him.
- He sent His Son Jesus to pay our penalty and make a way for us to be reconciled with God.
- God is in control of all events, great and small.
