..."and a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the way of holiness; evil minded people shall not travel on it, but it shall be for those wayfarers who are traveling toward God. (Isaiah 35:8, adapted)

Immanuel: God with Us




"Mary PONDERED all these things in
her heart." Quiet, Happy spirit,
weigh in thy heart the grand truth
that Jesus was born at Bethlehem.
Immanuel, God with us;—weigh it
if you can; look at it again and
again, examine the varied facets
of this priceless brilliant, and
bless, and adore, and love, and
wonder, and yet adore again this
matchless miracle of love.

. . . Come and worship God manifest
in the flesh, and be filled with his
light and sweetness by the power of
the Holy Spirit, Amen.


——Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892).
