1. We spend most of our lives trying to become the kind of people God would want to be near. 2. We clean ourselves up, fix our mistakes, and hope that one day we'll finally measure up enough for Him to show up. 3. Emmanuel means "God with us”… not God above us, or God waiting on us, or God once we get it together. 4. God didn't wait for us to climb up to Him. He came down to a feeding trough to be with us right in the middle of our mess. 5. You don't have to become worthy of His presence first. The whole point of Christmas is that Jesus already decided to be with you.

Here's the good news of Christmas: you don't have to get it all together first. Emmanuel means God with us, and He decided that before you ever cleaned yourself up.
So much of life gets spent trying to become someone God would want to be near. The manger tells a different story. He came down to meet us right in the middle of the mess.
