Christmastime for many of us brings an emotional potpourri of gladness and hope mixed with stress and mental fatigue. Sound familiar? Such mixed emotions remind us that we live in the midst of spiritual warfare, and our enemy delights to distract us from the wonder of Immanuel, God with us. Christ’s incarnation is a bold declaration from God that He is a Person, who longs to relate to us personally. Our deepest needs are not met through a belief system, or religious activities, but a Person, Jesus, who is still pleased to dwell with us today. “… the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory…” John 1:14 (NKJV) I pray we’re refreshed as we turn to Scripture to behold the glory of Immanuel, God with us.
