God With Us

It all leads to this. The manger. The child. The Word made flesh. On Christmas Eve, we step into the heart of the story: Immanuel, God with us. In a dark and broken world, Jesus is the light that shines. The incarnation changes everything. God did not stay distant; He drew near. He chose to enter our humanity, not as a conquering king, but as a vulnerable baby. Heaven came down and met earth in the most unexpected way. Tonight, we remember that Christmas is not just about a moment in history, it is about a Savior who still steps into our lives, bringing hope where there is despair, peace where there is chaos, and joy where there is sorrow

Scripture References: Luke 2:1-20, John 1:9-14
