The Wonder of Immanuel

Father,
As we contemplate Immanuel may we not only see a name but a Person. Guard us from academic staleness as we reflect on “God With Us.” Ignite true and renewed wonder in us and our church families. God has come to dwell with us, so we may dwell with Him forever. May our hearts swell with worship at such an amazing and precious truth.
Come live with us soon, Lord Jesus!
Amen (Matthew 1:21-23; Revelation 21:3)
