Episode Synopsis

Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. (Matthew 1:22-23) *1/ God with us - God manifest in the flesh. ( 1 Timothy 3:16) 2/ God with us - His words and work. (John 3:34) (John 17:4) 3/ God with us - in his people. ( Colossians 1:27)* This is our first sermon done using Global sermons to translate to Mandarin Chinese. Feedback as to accuracy from Chinese people will be appreciated. **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the profound truth of Emmanuel—God with us—revealed in the incarnation of Jesus Christ, emphasizing that the eternal, omnipresent, holy, and sovereign God became fully human to redeem sinners. It contrasts God's general omnipresence with the unique, personal, and historical presence of God in the flesh, highlighting Christ's true humanity, divine origin, and sinless nature, which enabled Him to be a substitute for humanity, *(His people of the human race)* The sermon underscores that Christ's words and works—such as miracles and His sacrificial death—were not merely divine acts but the very voice and power of God, fulfilling Old Testament promises and establishing a new covenant. It concludes by affirming that God continues to dwell with His people through the Holy Spirit, making believers the living temple of God, where His presence is known not by sight but by faith, transforming hearts and uniting believers in hope and love.
