Emmanuel,
God with us.
With.
Not abstract,
Not detached,
But here. Now. Near.
God with me.
Emmanuel,
God who comes.
Joy to the world,
The Lord is come,
And dwells among us,
Within us
The Word becomes flesh:
‘Give us this day our daily bread’
‘Take, eat, this is my body, which is broken for you’
I am thirsty, as the deer pants for water:
‘This cup is the new covenant’
‘Drink’
Joy to the world.
