John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:10-11
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

The miracle of Christmas is Emmanuel: God with us. Christ, the Word, has always been, but at Christmas, He came to us. Imagine that. He had been with God, perfectly loved, and He chose to come to Earth, knowing full well that the beings that He had created would not receive Him.

And yet He came.

Receive Him, and the Emmanuel of Christmas will be with you...always.

"...lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” -Jesus (Matthew 28:20)
