Christmas From Cover to Cover: 25-Day Advent DevotionalSample

Jesus’ name means, “God is with us.” When Jesus preaches the gospel to thousands in the crowd, God is with them. When Jesus performed miracles for the sick and dying, God is with them. When Jesus calms a storm for His disciples, God is with them. The ministry of Jesus was God faithfully pursuing His people by dwelling among them. God did not leave His people alone in their sin and suffering. When He ought to have cast us away for our sin, He drew near. Christmastime helps us remember that we are not alone. God is still with us. We have hope amid our sin and trials because we are not alone.

Reflection Question: What situation in your life do you need to apply the truth that “God is with you?”
