Greetings and welcome to the Journey Begun in Scripture podcast! I am your host, Theodore Jander. To begin this episode, “God With Us,” I share Matthew 1:23, which is the Scripture verse my dad reflects on: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which means, God with us.

Now, sit back and relax as you take this time to dwell in God’s presence as my dad, Dr. Lou Jander, reflects on “God With Us.”

O Come, O Come Immanuel

1 O come, O come, Immanuel, and ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!

2 O come, thou Rod of Jesse, free thine own from Satan’s tyranny; from depths of hell thy people save, and give them victory o’er the grave. Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!

3 O come, thou Key of David, come, and open wide our heavenly home; make safe the way that leads on high, and close the path to misery. Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!

O Come, O Come Immanuel - Accompaniment from Worship Service Resources - ASIN: B00D46AX7C; sung by Theodore Jander.

Well met and welcome to the Journey Begun in Scripture podcast! I am your host, Theodore Jander. This installment’s JBNS devotional focuses on Luke 2:7. So, sit back and relax as you take this time to dwell in God’s presence with “Silent Night.”

Luke 2:7: And she gave birth to her firstborn son, wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Silent Night Verse 1: Silent night, holy night! All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child. Holy Infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.

Verse 2: Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight; Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing, Alleluia! Christ, the Savior, is born! Christ, the Savior, is born!

Verse 3: Silent night, holy night! Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
