GOD WITH US

I love Christmas. I love Christmas for the lights and music and excited anticipation I see in my grandchildren -- but mostly because of the divine love given to us in the Incarnation and fills my heart. I can not fathom such love, all I can do is take in its warmth. God made man. God with us.

God has been with me even in my darkest moments of degenerative multiple sclerosis and cancer. A message too profound for words is there "Be not afraid, I AM with you."[1]

Yes, God is with us and calls you and me to Him, through the atoning sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ at Calvary. If Christ had not stepped through time and into a cradle in Bethlehem, He could not have staggered under the weight of a cross to Calvary for our eternity.
