Matthew 1:18-25
from Salem Presbyterian Church · host Austin Pfeiffer
Rev. Austin Pfeiffer explores how Isaiah’s promise of Immanuel was partially fulfilled in Israel’s history but ultimately completed in the birth of Jesus. By looking closely at Matthew 1, we see that the virgin birth reveals Jesus as truly God with us, not just a sign but the fulfillment itself. Advent invites us to set aside our assumptions, live in the tension of longing and joy, and receive the surprising gift God has given in Christ.
