Emmanuel

BiblecandleEmmanuel. "God with us"



Beautiful words, but have we forgotten their meaning?



Consider the implications of God being with us.



The concept alone should leave us searching for words.



The Cosmic Creator of limitless power became a fragile human being.



A dirty little village held the conduit to eternity.



Its darkened streets concealed the God of all the universe.



His eternal nature might have shattered time by His mere presence.



With only a thought, His infinite power might have ripped apart the building blocks of reality.



This being, who is the sum of every hope and every fear mankind can think of, laid down His infinite might.



Why? To be closer to you.



And now, restored to his infinite glory, He waits. You have only to ask, and He will once again rip through the fabric of space and time, just to be near you.



Because, Emmanuel isn't just His name on Christmas. It's His name every day of our lives.
