Summary: In our Bible Reading yesterday, we read from Matthew, chapter 1. Verse 23 said, <em>The virgin will be pregnant and will give birth to a son. They will name him Immanuel. (Immanuel means God with us.)</em> This verse is a quote from the book of Isaiah. Isaiah prophesied that a virgin (Mary) would give birth to a baby (Jesus). Isaiah also said that Marys baby would be called Immanuel.<br> Jesus came to earth as a baby. This event was God coming to live among people. Jesus was born just like you and I were born. He grew up, He ate food, and He worked. But Jesus was different. He was a man, and He was also God!<br> God came to earth in the form of Jesus. He suffered like we suffer. God and Jesus understand what it feels like to be sad or hungry or lonely or tempted. Because God and Jesus understand these things, they can give us help and comfort.<br> Thank God for Jesus His wonderful gift to the world!
