“Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and
bear
a
son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.”
(Isaiah 7:14)
In the aftermath of judgment, there is hope
as the alto soloist sings these great words from the prophet. Gospel writer Matthew cites Isaiah 7:14, then
translates the term Immanuel…”God with
us.” Presence is a vital aspect of
relationship. This is the wonderful news
of Christmas…God has come to be with us.
Prayer: Present God, in your nearness, may
we find strength for today. Amen.
