The message of Christmas — God is with us. Christ didnt come that holy night to say “well done.” He didnt come to pat us on the back or encourage us for just a time. He came to stay. God came to dwell among us and to reside within us forever. The astounding truth of Christmas is He became one of us and suffered as we suffer so that He might understand our pain. So that He might know how to comfort and help us. That’s not all. Baby Jesus didn’t come only to walk among us. He came to deliver us and set us right with God. The coming of Jesus meant God the Father had now sent His Son to deliver the world from sin... No matter the challenge, you are not alone. Whatever your need — deliverance, strength, hope — Immanuel is present. He is right there beside you this very moment. The more I learned to acknowledge His presence, the more of His presence I experienced. You can, too. No matter where you are this Christmas, you are not alone. “‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God with us’).’” Matthew 1:23
