“God’s wonderful purpose of grace, the mystery of redeeming love, is the theme into which “angels desire to look,” and it will be their study throughout endless ages.”

“God With Us”

The Mystery of God With Us (Emmanuel)

Before reading, pause to quiet your mind. In this unit, we behold the self-sacrificing love of Christ which unfallen worlds study with awe. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Christ's humility in your own daily interactions.
