Our sin prevents nearness to God because it separates us from Him with no possible way from our side to get to Him. Christmas reminds us Jesus came to live, die and rise so you and I can draw near to God. All who trust in Jesus for forgiveness and freedom from sin are no longer distant from real peace, real hope, real joy, real comfort, real security, real wisdom, and real love because we are no longer distant from God where these things are found. Our Immanuel made a way for us to get forgiven, get real life, get to heaven and get to God. Rejoice today over this truth: When we could not get to Him, Jesus came to us.
