Christmas hymns like O Come, O Come Emmanuel capture the deep human longing for God’s rescue from our spiritual darkness. Jesus came as Emmanuel – God with us – to solve humanity’s fundamental problem of sin, which brings exile, depravity, and death. Through the incarnation, God didn’t stay distant but entered our world to save us. Like Joseph, we’re called to respond with obedient faith, trusting God’s promises rather than relying on ourselves. This Christmas season offers a perfect opportunity to share this hope with others who need to know that Jesus is God with us to save us.
