“All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a Son, and they will call Him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’).” (Matthew 1:22-23)
Is there anyone in our midst who pretends to understand the awesome love in the heart of the Abba [Father] of Jesus that inspired, motivated, and brought about Christmas?...
God entered into our world not with the crushing impact of unbearable glory, but in the way of weakness, vulnerability, and need. On a wintry night in an obscure cave, the infant Jesus was a humble, naked, helpless God who allowed us to get close to Him.
