The 'O' Antiphons; "Emmanuel"

BODY

O Emmanuel, you are our king and judge, the One whom the peoples await and their Savior. O come and save us, Lord, our God.

Emmanuel, literally translated, is "god with us."
It's probably one of the most literal assertions of Christs' divinity in the Bible.
But it's also, I think, a more challenging assertion than it is often made out to be.
