Background Scripture:
Matthew 1 : 18 through 2:23.
Devotional Reading:
Isaiah 9:2-7
Eit?ht hundred years before the
birth of Jesus of Nazareth occurred
an event in Judah that the writer of
Matthew would later view as a
revelation of Jesus the Messiah.
Aha/ was on the throne of Judah
and Isaiah was God's prophet. The
tiny kingdom was once again in
danger of annihilation by its ene
mies Syria and Ephraim. (Israel),
and Ahaz and his people were
struck with terror: "...his heart an
the heart of his people shook as the
trees of the forest shake before the
wind" (Isaiah 7:2).
So God sent Isaiah to Ahaz to
reassure him and his people that
they would be saved. But ap
parently King Ahaz was not com
forted by the prophet's words, so
Isaisah says to him: "Ask a sign of
the Lord your God; let it be as deep
as Sheol or as high as heaven '
(Isaiah 7:10). But Ahaz. whose
faith had withered, refused to do
so.
Thus, Isaiah proclaimed, since
Ahaz would not designate a sign.
God himself would give one to him:
"Behold, a young woman shall
conceive and bear a son, and you
shall call his name Immanuel"
(7:14). Before the child should
reach maturity, the Lord would
defeat Judah's enemies, and be
cause Ahaz's lack of faith, an even
greater ordeal would befall him and
nis nation. Those who believed in
God's sign would be saved, while
those who doubted would sutler
greatly.
We don't know who was the
"young woman" who conceived
and bore a son. Some believe it was
one of Aha/.'s wives, while others
think it may have been the wife of
the prophet. At any rate, it was a
young woman known to both the
prophet and the king and the
conception and birth of a child
would be under circumstances that
would make the event discernible
as a sign of those with faith.
Even more significant however,
would be the child's name: Em
manuel. meaning "God is w ith us."
This was the message God was
bringing his people through Isaiah:
God is with you! Therefore, do not
be afraid. Trust in God! The child
would symboli/e God's assurance
that he would save his people if they
trusted in" him.
Eight centuries later the people
of the newly-born church saw the
birth of Jesus as the ultimate
fulfillment of this event. As the
birth of that unknown 8th century
BC child was a sign and challenge
to Judah, so the birth of Jesus was a
sign and challenge to the whole
world that God was fulfilling his
promises of old.
To the people of Judah the name
Emmanuel was a reminder that
God would be with them in their
national struggle. To Christians,
however, the name Emmanuel is
even more meaningful, for. in this
child. Jesus. God was and con
tinues to be present to all who in
faith receive him.
