Emanuel - God is with us

Emanuel

‘For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace’ Isaiah 9:6

When I went to college, I played the bassoon in the orchestra. We played excerpts from Handel’s Messiah. I was on the second level of risers with the tympani on the third level. Each syllable of Wonderful, Counselor, and Mighty God received a blow from the percussionist. The sound went through our feet before it went to the other side of the auditorium.

You might refer to God as a shape shifter. He can appear in any form that He wants. He made himself to be born of a woman, but she had no earthly means of conceiving the Child. When Jesus was on earth, He may not have possessed all of the attributes of Everlasting Father, He was killed on the cross so that we could have a chance to get to heaven – that is why so many people reject Him as the Savior – God with us because He did not come with all of His power but He most certainly filled all the rest of the titles.
