The Lion The Lamb and the Teacher

The begotten son of the father
Prince of kings of the Earth
The holy One of Israel
Immaculately concepted at birth

The one who died for sinners
As a sacrificial lamb
Preacher and teacher incarnation of God
Yes… You are The Great I Am

You led the crowds with parables
To teach of the holy way
What a wonderful counselor indeed
A price we could never repay

A true miracle worker
And the maker of all ways
Bringer of dead back to life
Son of The God who stays

The one who’s roar is much mightier
Than Satan’s mocking snare
The valiant defender of his church
The lion of Judah is here

The one who wins every battle
The debts that you have paid
And where that stone rolled away
An empty tomb where you once laid

The merciful and forgiving one
As it was finished upon the cross
Freeing us of spiritual death
At no greater a cost

Hallelujah!!! Hosanna!!!
Glory be and Amen
You are the Christ Jesus
To come from the clouds again

What Gabriel Never Expected

Prior to Bethlehem God gave us his messengers, his teachers, his words. But in the manger God gave us himself. Extraordinary, don’t you think? I imagine even Gabriel scratched his head at the idea of “God with us.” Gabriel surely was not one to question his God-given missions. When God sent, Gabriel went.

And when word got out that God was to become a human, Gabriel was no doubt enthused. He could envision the moment: The Messiah in a blazing chariot. The King descending on a fiery cloud. An explosion of light from which the Messiah would emerge. What he never expected, however, was a slip of paper with a Nazarene address. “God will become a baby,” it read. “Tell the mother to name the child Jesus. And tell her not to be afraid.”

Gods With Us Promise

Jesus understands you. He’s faced hunger, sorrow, and death and wants to face them with you. The Bible says Jesus “understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin” (Hebrews 4:15).

If Jesus understands our weaknesses, then so does God. Jesus was God in human form. He was God with us. That’s why Jesus is called Immanuel. Immanu means “with us.” El refers to Elohim, or God. So Immanuel is not an “above-us God” or a “somewhere-in-the-neighborhood God.” He came as the “with-us God.” All of us.

“I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). Search for restrictions on the promise, and you’ll find none. There’s no withholding tax on God’s “with us” promise. God is with us. What great news!
