Signposts To Christ From Isaiah

Dia 1 de 14

Isaiah the prophet ministered approximately 800 years before Christ. During a major political challenge, Isaiah offered King Ahaz a sign to say that God was in control of his situation. An unnamed young woman from the king’s court would give birth to a son with a significant name. That child would be a visible reminder that God was with them. 

Recalling the birth of Jesus, the writers of the New Testament looked back to these words of Isaiah and saw a connection (see Matthew 1:23). The birth of Jesus proclaimed to the whole world that God came to earth and became one of us. Jesus took on human form, born a son, to be with humanity and to save all of humanity. This message is still central for us today: God is with us. 

Question: How does the knowledge of Christ as “God with us” give you comfort and hope?
