One of the things that is so endearing about caring for a baby is watching them develop. At the beginning they can do nothing on their own. They can’t even burp without help. This is also one of the most wondrous parts of the Christmas story. Jesus was called Immanuel, which means “God with us.” Jesus is God, in the flesh. So that means that there in the manger wiggling around because he is unable to pick up his head or control the movement of his arms, is the One who created and is sustaining the entire universe. This shows what it took for God to be here “with us.” That truth is utterly transforming for us in our present circumstances. No matter how alone we may feel in this current season of our lives, Jesus committed to us that He is always with us.
