Episode 120 - The Power of Presence

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John BinghamWhen the Angel announced to Mary the coming of Jesus, He said that Christ would be called, “Emmanuel” or God with us. This simple truth is completely astounding — the Creator of the universe was willing to put on skin and dwell among us. God brought to us His presence. “Mamie Adams always went to a branch post office in her town because the postal employees there were friendly. She went there to buy stamps just before Christmas one year, and the lines were particularly long. Someone pointed out that there was no need to wait in line because there was a stamp machine in the lobby. ‘I know,’ said Mamie, ‘but the machine won’t ask me about my arthritis.’”Christmas offers us the reality of God’s presence. When He came to be with us, He showed us that He loved us! As we celebrate Christmas this year, we are celebrating the power of God’s presence with man.
