What does the Bible say about Jesus being called Emmanuel?

Answered in 1 source

The name Emmanuel means 'God with us,' signifying the incarnation of Christ.

The term Emmanuel, found in Matthew 1:23 and Isaiah 8:8, encapsulates a profound truth about the nature of Christ's coming into the world. It signifies that Jesus is not just a historical figure but the very presence of God among humanity. In the Old Testament, the name was associated with God's promise to His people, assuring them of His imminent presence and salvation. This promise continues as God fulfilled His covenant through Jesus Christ, confirmed in the New Testament, as the one who brings God to us and us to God, thus establishing a personal relationship between the Creator and His creation.
