The Savior, Immanuel
Christmas is not just about Jesus' birth as "Immanuel", but about what He accomplished as Immanuel. Because He was God with Us, Jesus was able to identify with us, save us, mediate for us, and give new meaning to our lives.

Matthew 1:18-23 - God With Us
This passage details the account of the angel of the Lord appearing to Joseph to explain why Mary is pregnant. In the vision the angel informs Joseph that though this pregnancy is unconventional, it is also Divine, and ultimately glorious. Joseph is reminded that all that was about to take place was a fulfillment of prophecy that the Redeemer would be born in this way, adn that He would indeed be Immanuel- "God with us".

The Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19 - 24)
God's covenants are progressive revelations of himself and progressive provisions for his people. In each of his covenants, God changes his relationship to his people forever. We see in the giving of the Mosaic covenant that God comes to dwell among his people, which is a foretaste of the nearness to God that we experience in fellowship with Jesus. We also see that God gives law in each of his covenants as a good gift to his people, to govern their lives and to teach his will.
