Jesus Promises Another Helper
“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.”
Emmanuel God with Us
Who is Jesus Christ?
Jesus is God in the flesh. He came down to earth from His throne in Heaven and was born a person so God could have a human personality and relate to His children more easily. At no point was Jesus any less God than when He was before the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus in the womb of Mary. Jesus is 100% God and 100% human.
Many translations say Jesus was born from God, but in the original context and language, it states Jesus emerged from God. Jesus is, was and always will be God. When we say God, we are not saying a general or a generic god, we are saying Jesus is Yahweh in the flesh. Jewish leadership was so against Jesus because He said He is Yahweh.
Immanuel: God Is with Us Pastor Greg Laurie
When did Jesus say He is Yahweh? Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” –John 8:58
How do we know Jesus is God with us? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel [‘with us is God’, the name of a child]. –Isaiah 7:14
Jesus Christ is God born a human. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus [Yeshua in the original language and his name means salvation now], for He will save His people from their sins.”
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus. –Matthew 1:18-25
