"Emmanuel: Christ is With Us" A Christmas Eve Homily by Barrett Owen
/The magic of Christmas is, “despite our readiness, God comes to us” even if we don’t have room for that kind of mystery. And we see this clearly in Matthew 1:23: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel, which means, God with us.” This is what makes Christmas so magical. Despite our readiness, God comes to us.
