Christmas is the story of the God of creation becoming human and dwelling with us. It’s a crazy idea! God is no longer distant, scary, and aloof. Nor is He simple, passive, and basic. No. Through Jesus, God— holy, righteous, loving, and just—chose to come close, to dwell with us. To set up his tent within and alongside our lives. From our relationships to each of our vocations, the truth that Jesus makes his dwelling with us can change everything. The story of Christmas reminds us through every peak, valley, celebration, and tragedy, Jesus dwells with us through it all.
