God desires to be with you.

Matthew 1:23 states, “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel-which means God with us”.

In Greek, the word ‘with’ is ‘meta’ meaning ‘in the midst of us’. Ever since God created Mankind, He always wanted to be in their midst, being with them eternally. Hence, God made Adam and Eve in His own image and likeness and gave them dominion over all the created things.

Every day God would visit them in the cool of the day to fellowship with them. But as Adam and Eve sinned, they plunged the entire human race in the hands of the devil, which broke and destroyed their fellowship with God.

On the contrary, when we read Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”

Hence, when God created mankind, He had an eternal purpose of becoming one with His creation. To fulfill this purpose, God chose Virgin Mary and took the form of a human in her womb, in which God and man became one and God became human. In other words, we can explain it as God’s Son becoming as man’s son so that we, the man’s son can become sons of God.
