What's inside

At Christmas, Jesus came into the world. As prophesied in Isaiah 7:14, he was called Emmanuel or “God with us.”

Learn more about Emmanuel and other names of Jesus in a series of short devotions based on the Advent hymn, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”

Read how grace now has a face once Emmanuel came to earth.

• See how Mary, Jesus’ mother, viewed her son, God’s son, and how that sets the tone of how we as Lutherans view Mary in this month's "Please explain."

• Rejoice that Emmanuel was born for you in "Christmas is about you."
