Christmas is about God writing himself into the human story. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. Christmas reminds us that God’s presence is His greatest present. A Holy Home Exodus 33:7 Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. Exodus 25:8 And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. Christmas shows us that God moves toward our sin, not away from it. How is your sin impacting your ability to experience the presence of God? A Friendly Face Exodus 33:9-11 When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the entrance of the tent, and the LORD would speak with Moses. 10 And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, each at his tent door. 11 Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend… How you view God determines how you approach him. How’s your friendship with Jesus going? A Permanent Presence Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. One day we will finally be home with God. What are you looking forward to on that day?
