This Sunday, we are concentrating on the next part of the Christmas story in worship. Immanuel, God with Us. God is real. God is present. God is with us.

I don’t know of any other god like that.

God is with us. And God is with us because He wants to be with us. He is not with us to use us, have us do stuff, abuse us…He is with us to be with us.

After reading/hearing the Christmas story so much and being a Christian for a while it can get easy to let the lunacy, wonder, comfort of God being with us to slip by unnoticed.

But God is with us, and now life is completely different.
