Matthew 1:23 "'Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,' which is translated, 'God with us.'" God is no longer separated from us, Praise God! He is ever with us. The vail has been rent! He is Immanuel!

Matthew 2:23 "And he came and dwellt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, 'He shall be called a Nazarene.'" John 1:45 says, "Philip found Nathanael and said to him, 'We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote- Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.' And Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'" I say to You, "Come and see!"

Matthew 13:55 "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?" At this moment Jesus was being doubted, for who He was. They were saying, "Hey, we know you. I saw you run around as a child." They did not realize that the carpenter's son would be the Master Carpenter. A carpenter fixes things, makes things new, gives them a purpose. He IS.

     He made the way... where there was no way. He reconciled us to the Father. When He said, "It is finished." He wasn't joking! It is FINISHED! Nazareth seemed to be an aweful place. Dry. Miserable. And the list goes on. So, if you are wondering what could come from your bad situation... I say, "Come and see what comes from Nazareth."

     If you feel as if you have been broken, cracked, or even, damaged go to the Master Carpenter. He Makes ALL THings New!!!
