The Gift of Emmanuel! December 24, 2025

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…”

Isaiah 9:6

Today’s Word

Christmas reminds us of God’s greatest gift: His presence with us. In Jesus, God stepped into our world not to judge us but to rescue, comfort, and guide us.

He is the Wonderful Counselor when we feel confused, the Mighty God when we feel weak, the Everlasting Father who holds us tightly, and the Prince of Peace who quiets every storm within us.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for the gift of Jesus—Your Son, my Savior. As I celebrate Christmas, fill my heart with gratitude, wonder, and joy. Help me understand more deeply the love that moved You to come near. Surround my home and my loved ones with peace, unity, and warmth. Let the meaning of this day remind me that I am never alone because You are Emmanuel, God with us. Amen.
