Today we will look at the theological depth of the Christmas carol “O Come O Come Emmanuel” through the lens of Matthew 1:22-23. We will focus on the understanding of “Immanuel” (God with us) and its significance in God’s redemptive plan. Jesus, being fully God and fully man, came to rescue us from sin and adopt us into God’s family. The incarnation shows us that we weren’t created to serve a distant God but to walk with a loving Father.
A lot of us know, or have heard, the traditional Christmas songs that come with the season, but do we understand them? We want to look at what the scriptures have inspired and close the gap between what we sing—and what we understand—about Christmas.
