Today we name our children according to family traditions. Jesus was named Immanuel according to the angels report, telling us Jesus was 'God with us'. In Jesus, God was with us in the flesh. God decided to come to us, since we couldn't live with him in Heaven. God decided to be with us and touch us. Touch is an important way to communicate. We are soothed and comforted through the right touch. The ability to reach out and touch others is a vital part of our ministry, as it was Jesus' ministry.
