Implications from Isaiah |
Hooks from Isaiah |
|
Jesus is Immanuel, God’s presence with us. “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). – Matthew 1:23 |
The Spirit of Christ is present within us and enables us to respond to our King with grateful service. “how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.” – Hebrews 9:14 |
Do our lives of service to God challenge people around us with His presence and invite them into His presence as well? Are we challenged by God’s presence with us? How would you behave differently if God were physically present with you? How do we know what a life of service to God looks like for us in our particular circumstances? Is God’s presence with you something that is obvious, or do you guard it more closely than your bank account number? Is God served and are people challenged by your Facebook page? What is one observable difference God’s presence in your life has made?
