    Contributed by Carl Greene on Dec 31, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,026 views

    What really is it about God becoming man that is so momentous for you and me today? Let me share with you three ways in which I think that the coming of Emmanuel bears such great connotations for you and me today.
