Day 1: Emmanuel - God With Us
Reading: Isaiah 7:10-14; Matthew 1:18-23


Devotional: The first name revealed for the coming Messiah was not Savior, but Emmanuel—God with us. This reveals God's primary purpose: not just to rescue us from hell, but to dwell with us. His desire has always been proximity, relationship, and presence. When we reduce Christianity to fire insurance, we miss the heart of the gospel. God didn't just want to save you; He wanted to be with you. Today, consider this: salvation opened the door for God to live inside you, not just around you. His government, His rulership, His kingdom—all come packaged with His presence. You cannot separate His lordship from His love. Are you making room for Him to truly be with you, or are you satisfied with religious activity that keeps Him at arm's length?
