God With Us: Christmas 2021
“Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge Him.
As surely as the sun rises,
He will appear;
He will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.”
Hosea 6:3 (NIV)
Explored through the eyes of some of the characters in the Christmas story, this beautifully simple, yet extraordinary reality, changes everything for us. The unshakeable truth that God is with us, brings hope in the challenge of waiting, joy in accepting the life God invites us into, peace in the companionship of God for the journey, and like the rains, the reality of God with us, reminds us that life has come to us too. Life comes in the person of Jesus, Immanuel, God with us.
