Christmas 2009
Christmas "With God"
“… and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means, ‘God is with us.’” - (Matthew 1:23)
“And the word became flesh and lived among us.” - (John 1:14)
What is this story? This thought that God gave up his heavenly throne, put on skin and came down to live with the human family?
Jesus was born as a child. He was a teenager. He learned a craft and served his community. He was also a well respected Rabbi – a teacher.
