Thirty Second Devotions

Matthew 1:22-23

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."

God with us. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. How humbling it must have been for Him to come in the flesh and to leave His throne in heaven. The prophets told of the Lord's coming. His birth fulfilled the prophecy spoken by the prophet Isaiah. There are over 300 Prophecies concerning the birth of Christ.
