Dear Family,
Today is Friday, May 22, 2026. Today is Day 48 and Day 6 of Week 7 in our Count to Pentecost.
Jesus is Emmanuel. This name for Jesus comes from a Hebrew word that means “God with us.” The Day of Pentecost now reminds us who have been begotten by God’s Holy Spirit that God by Jesus is also “in us.”
Matthew 1:23 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.
This verse comes from a famous verse in Isaiah.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
This intimate contact that we now have with God is a beautiful and glorious mystery few understand. He is our Righteousness.
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
We are in the process of growing into the full stature of Christ (Ephesians 4:13). And Jesus in us is our hope of glory (Colossians 1:27)
2 Corinthians 13:5(B) prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Galatians 2:20(A) I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: And, in God’s time He will be fully formed in us.
Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you
