God with Us-Immanuel

Saturday. John 1: 1-5.

In the beginning there was a Wondrous One. He was the mind of God thinking God’s thoughts out to man. He was the heart of God throbbing love out to man’s heart. He was the voice of God talking music into man’s ear. He was the face of God looking into man’s eyes, that we might be caught with the beauty of his face, and come running back home. He was God himself bearing a human name — Jesus. And he is with us.
