God's Child -- God's Children

For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given...
-- Isaiah 9:6a (NIV)

God the Father gave His Child to be physically born in Bethlehem so we could be spiritually born again as children of God the Father.


For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
-- Luke 19:10 (NIV)

So you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
-- Galatians 3:26 (NLT)

Look Up And Be Radiant! Let Your Hearts Swell With Joy!

Because of Jesus we clearly see that God is NEAR.
1. Because of Jesus’ birth we know that God is not some distant deity living on the edge of the universe looking at us through a super Hubble telescope, but a God who is near us.
2. Jesus’ title was Immanuel, which means “God is with us.”
3. Through Jesus we know that God is right here. God is with us as we worship. God listens to us as we pray. God is with us when we sleep, at work, at play, wherever we are at whether we are aware of God’s presence or not, whether we feel God’s presence, God is near.
4. Jesus told his disciples he would be with us always.
5. Jesus even promised those who follow him that he would not only be present with them, but would actually live within them through his Spirit.
