God Wanted to be One of Us
December 22, 2025
One of the most beautiful aspects of the Christian faith is that when Jesus appears, he appears as Emmanuel, as God-with-us. In Jesus, we realize how serious God is about his promise to be with us and to stay with us. In Jesus, the faithfulness of God becomes even more visible because in Jesus, God became flesh and dwelled among us. He pitched his tent among us. He lived among us. He did not want to keep any distance from us. He wanted to be one of us.
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). - Matthew 1: 23
