God’s Incredible Presence!
Matthew 1:21-23 and Exodus 33:14-16

Fannie Chambers shares a word and a song, recorded at Cottonwood in 2008

John 16:7 But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you.

You see this so clearly on the first two words of the cross!

1st Word of The Cross: Jesus’ Response to Your Sin that Separates You From God? “Father Forgive Them” Luke 23:33-35

2nd Word of the Cross: Jesus’ Response to the Thief who asked, “Remember Me!” “Today You Shall Be With Me In Paradise” Luke 23:36-39

Remember Me! You Shall be with Me!

Matthew 1:21-23 Always With You, Always to Deliver You!
