Christmas isn't just about a baby's birth in Bethlehem. It's the amazing story of God becoming like us, known as "Immanuel," meaning "God with us." God delights in being with His people, from the garden with Adam and Eve to the tabernacle and temple. Christ's birth fulfills God's joyous pursuit of humanity. Jesus's humble arrival in a stable shows God values humility and passion over grandeur. His birth fulfills Old Testament prophecies, revealing a carefully planned divine story. His birth symbolizes humility, a new beginning, and hope for redemption. God chose a child's form to make Himself relatable, innocent, and a symbol of new life. This Christmas, remember God is with us, offering hope, redemption, and an eternal relationship.
