What if the greatest gift you could receive this Christmas isn’t something you open—but Someone who comes close? John 1 reminds us that God didn’t stay distant; He stepped into our world, took on flesh, and moved into our neighborhood. Immanuel means that in our joy, grief, loneliness, and weariness, God is truly with us—now and forever. This Advent, slow down and rediscover the life-changing truth that the present we need most is God’s presence.
