He Is Emmanuel, God With Us – Holy Fifty – Fifth Week – Day 3 – May 21, 2025
Gospel Reading: John 13:16–20
Focus Verse: “Most assuredly, I say to you” (John 13:20)
Meditation
Every day, every service, every trial, and every labor of love, His presence surrounds us like fire around the bush unconsumed, yet filled with divine glory. He is not afar off—He is Emmanuel, God with us.
Early Church Fathers’ Saying
“Great is the recompense of care bestowed upon the servants of God, and of itself it yields to us its fruits.”
—St. John Chrysostom
Practical Practice
Be assured that from the moment you rise to the moment you rest, Christ is behind you as strength, beside you as companion, and within you as life. Even in trial, it is no longer you who bear the burden, but Christ who carries you.
