O Come, Emmanuel

We were made for Relationship. Relationship with God and with one another. The Bible's big story is the restoration of relationship, of life together, a dramatic movement from intimacy to hiding to God's consistent pursuit. His pursuit of his people out from Slavery, in the cloud and pillar of fire, in the tabernacle and the Temple. God keeps coming down. But the greatest pursuit is his coming in the flesh, his incarnation in Jesus. We finally come to the last O Antiphon. O come, o come, Emmanuel, God with us!
