Salvation has come when we find that we are no more alone, that God is with us.
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child,
and shall give birth to a son.
They shall call his name Immanuel;”
which is, being interpreted, “God with us.”
-Matthew 1:23, WEBBE
I think that there is no other faith that is as unthinkable as the one that could believe in God coming down from heaven to become man. A faith that insists we need not remain in darkness because Light Himself has pierced through our shadows to illumine our path.
But as Christians, that is just what we believe, and Christmas reminds us of all that.
Christmas reminds us that it isn't our failures that matter, because there is One who can save us and make us whole again.
Christmas reminds us that it isn't our wounds that should overwhelm us, because there is One who can heal us and give us life.
Christmas reminds us that no matter how empty and alone we may feel, no matter how deserted by the world we think we are, we need not be alone.
God Himself has reached out to us from heaven.
Yes! We are never alone for God first loves us. God is ever presence. God's provision is never lacking; always sufficient and on time.
From The Lord comes deliverance. May Your Blessing be on Your people. (Psalms 3:8)
