Advent 4: Matthew 1:18-25
Manage episode 350096962 series 2775621
When he learns that Mary is pregnant, Joseph considers leaving her. But an angel appears to him saying that the words of the prophet are true: a virgin will give birth to a son, whose name will be Emmanuel. Emmanuel means "God with us;" Jonathan and Seth explore this phrase in particular. It can be coopted and used to create enemies, but it can also form a faithful foundation that stands against Christian Nationalism, which narrowly defines "us" for political gain.
