I was driving along one day listening to Saint Paul Radio and I heard someone talk about Immanuel as a name for Jesus. He made the point that Immanuel means "God is with us" and this Name is right after the Great Commission.
"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." Mathew 28:20 (Douay-Rheims)
"I am" is a Hebrew Name for God and so in that italicized fragment He reiterated the Name Immanuel. Jesus, true God and true Man, was very certainly with St Peter and the other 10 faithful apostles, but He is also still with us until the end.

"I am with you." I understand this to mean He'd be with us not just spiritually, but physically as well. Hence the sacraments.
Especially in the Eucharist
