'Immanuel, God with us.' It is hell’s terror. Satan trembles at the sound of it... Let him come to you suddenly, and do you but whisper that word, 'God with us,' back he falls, confounded and confused... 'God with us' is the laborer’s strength. How could he preach the gospel, how could he bend his knees in prayer, how could the missionary go into foreign lands, how could the martyr stand at the stake, how could the confessor own his Master, how could men labor if that one word were taken away?... 'God with us' is eternity’s sonnet, heaven’s hallelujah, the shout of the glorified, the song of the redeemed, the chorus of the angels, the everlasting oratorio of the great orchestra of the sky.
