Thinking about O Come O Come Emmanuel

Have you ever really thought about the words to Christmas carols that we sing every year? Have we taken the meaning of these songs for granted? Think about what the words of this song really mean:

     O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
     And ransom captive Israel,
     That mourns in lonely exile here,
     Until the Son of God appear.
     Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
     Shall come to thee, O Israel.

The cool thing is “Emmanuel” means “God With Us”. Rejoice this Christmas – God has come to be with us! For real!
