Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

I mean, would you have believed it? Immanuel. God with us. Really? That's what they will call this child? That must have seemed like a cruel joke to Joseph. Because God certainly wasn't with him! His betrothed was with child. Everyone knows there's only one way for that to happen. God with us. I wish, Joseph perhaps thought. So He could straighten this all out. Make it right. That's what God is for, after all, isn't it?
