The truth of “God With Us” is absolutely mind-blowing to be sure. Couple that with the fact that He didn’t just come to us long ago, but He willingly and intentionally comes to us in our day and time. Granted it seems different than Him walking this earth and speaking to us in our hearing, but Jesus nonetheless walks among us and speaks to us through His Spirit-filled Word! He didn’t come 2000 years ago and hope we’d grope our way towards Him...He instead seeks us out and brings us to faith and keeps us in the faith through His living and active, ever-enduring, Spirit-filled Word! Thank you Jesus...He is “With Us in His Word”!

While we accept it willingly, one of the more difficult concepts for the Disciples to wrap their brain around in this idea of “The Incarnation” of Jesus, was that Jesus was actually God...in the flesh. They saw the “flesh guy”. They saw the human being, the Rabbi, the Friend, the Mentor. But they had trouble seeing that He was literally God. Not so for us! We see all that He did and the fact that He raised Himself from the dead and we KNOW without a doubt that He is God. But we need the reminder nonetheless. You see, He’s not just “Sunday School Jesus” to be taken off the shelf once a week for an hour...but as God, He is our Lord...He is our Master. Today we remember that when Jesus came to us, He was “With Us as God” then and He remains so now and that truth has implications for our lives every day!

“The Incarnation”...that’s what it’s called that Jesus, the God of the Universe, took on flesh and dwelt among us. “The Incarnation”...the truth of it is a big and mysterious as the phrase itself. Seriously, God became a human being? God..the Almighty God...took on a man’s body? We have great difficulty being able to believe that Jesus was, in all the fullness of the term, a human being. We see the miracles. We see the healings. We see the God-nature...but this miracle working, healer, was also 100% bona-fide human being! Amazing! Amazing indeed! “Amazing Grace” as well! As it is often said, “He was born in Bethlehem that we might be born again!” Praise you Jesus...today we’ll remember that in Jesus, God was “With Us as One of Us”!
