CHRISTMAS IS RUINED, PART IV
"The baby in the manger is the perfect One who redeems us in our imperfection. Immanuel, 'God with us,' is still with us, not just at Christmas but always through His Word & Sacraments. The same body that went to the cross is now resurrected in glory at the right hand of the Father & given to us at His table each week. God is not out there hiding from us. He's here. With us. In the flesh."
--Merritt Demski, "When Jesus Ruins Christmas," The Lutheran Witness Dec. 2018)
