“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.” Zephaniah 3:17a (NIV)
One aspect of Christmas we should never forget is that when Jesus came to earth He was the Son of God. This is emphasized in the name that we hear at Christmas time – the name Immanuel. We remember that the name means “God with us.” This is the title the prophet Zephaniah wanted to emphasize. Jesus came as a baby in Bethlehem. This baby was God in human form. Jesus is with us today, too, and we can rest in the assurance. No matter what is going on around us today we can be assured that He is with us. Let us recognize His presence and experience the joy of it by faith.
