This Christmas Eve sermon traces the unbroken biblical story of God’s desire to be with His people, culminating in the miracle of the Incarnation. From God’s presence in the Garden, the Wilderness, the Temple, and the promises of the Prophets, the message arrives at its climax in John 1:1–14: the eternal Word who spoke creation into existence became flesh and “dwelt” among us—not temporarily, but relationally and personally. Jesus is God drawing near, not through power or distance, but through humility, taking on our humanity to know our suffering, bear our sin, and restore us to Himself. Christmas declares that God is not distant or demanding perfection first; He comes to us in our brokenness with grace and truth, offering forgiveness, healing, and hope. Because Jesus entered fully into our pain and weakness, He is present with us now—sympathetic, trustworthy, and near—inviting us to receive His love and live as children of God
