“I’m with you.” There might be no more comforting words in times of trial, suffering, illness, or loneliness. Someone’s presence in our lives is priceless. This is the Christmas message of God to us - “I’m with you.” The promise of God in Isaiah many years prior has come true in Jesus. This kept promise brings peace, joy, hope, comfort, salvation, and eternal life! Christmas is closely connected to the gospel - In fact Christmas IS the good news of Jesus.
This Christmas season take time to reflect on this name of Jesus - Immanuel. God is with you in a unique way. God will not leave you or forsake you. God will not let you down. God will never renege on His promises. God is not only with you, He is in you and for you! Rejoice for God this Christmas.
