Emmanuel . . . Christ . . . Jesus ~ Matthew 1:23, 16, 21

Note: This devotion is from November 19

Around us, everywhere and every day, there is a disillusionment and discontentment of unrestful souls. EMMANUEL is the one complete answer to man’s deepest needs.

That title, “Christ is of course, the New Testament correspondent of the Old Testament “Messiah” and both means “The Anointed One.”

Some golden daybreak in the near future He will break in upon our world again, in overwhelming splendor as World-Emperor, but meanwhile, besides being “Emmanuel” and “Christ” he is JESUS.

He who is the embodiment of the Deity visibly and the fulfillment of prophecy historically, is the Saviour of men morally and spiritually and eternally. This is the message for the hour; not the evolution of man, but the incarnation of God; not some pseudo-deliverance by human brains, but real salvation by divine grace; not some wistful “extinction of the ape and the tiger” in man, but a Savior who really saves men from sin!

Today, I pray that you and I will receive this message of the hour.
