More important than gifts, pictures, phone calls, or mementos at Christmas, is simply being together. Personal presence is what matters most. In the same way, the Bible is about the personal presence of God in our lives not just about ethics, ideas, or theology. It is the core theme of the Bible from the very beginning, and you can trace it all the way through the Old Testament to its climax at Christmas. That is why one writer has said that “‘With’ is the most important word in all of Scripture and all of theology.” This Advent we trace the story of Immanuel, God with us.
