Join us as we continue to explore the birth of Jesus during the Christmas season, and all that came with God’s swaddle-wrapped gift of love. Today we explore how Jesus coming into the world was the birth of hope—a confident expectation of a better tomorrow.

Sometimes in the midst of Black Friday deals, Amazon packages, those favorite in-laws, multiple Christmas parties, holiday recitals, and more—it’s easy to lose focus on what Christmas is all about.

In the coming weeks, we’ll focus in on the birth of Jesus, and all that we’ve been blessed with via that very first Christmas gift.

Why would the Lord of All come naked into the world? Why would He choose to be utterly reliant upon human parents, like our own sons and daughters, to provide Him with warmth, food, and shelter?

Because He came to be Immanuel—God with us.
