Matthew 1:23

The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him “Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”

“The implications of the name ‘Immanuel’ are both comforting and unsettling. Comforting, because He has come to share the danger as well as the drudgery of our everyday lives. He desires to weep with us and to wipe away our tears. And what seems most bizarre, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, longs to share in and to be the source of the laughter and the joy we all too rarely know.” ~ Michael Card
