WITH = FIX

In my recent focus of being WITH and not focusing on FIXING, a powerful truth emerges as we approach the celebration of Christ’s Advent. Jesus Christ comes and is called Immanuel, which means “God WITH us.” No other global faith offers this connection. In Jesus, God is WITH us. He was born, grew up, ministered, died, and rose again. This participation in the human experience provided the WITH we so desperately need, but also provided the FIX to our broken sin condition. In Christ, WITH = FIX. He is Immanuel, GOD WITH US. He came not only to provide presence, but also the solution; that believing in Him as Savior, we will be WITH Him from now into all eternity. May you connect personally with this powerful truth this Christmas.
