The creator of the
heavens and the earth,
didn't stay in the distant skies
to let us stumble on our way.
He came,
a helpless babe,
born in a stable,
to a poor family.
He grew as a child,
in “wisdom and stature,
and in favour of God and man.”
He walked the roads of Palestine.
Ministering, teaching, healing.
He saw the publican in the tree.
He found the lame man
by the pool of Bethesda.
He suffered all things,
pain in body, mind, and spirit.
He felt every temptation,
and bled in anguish,
yet never fell to wickedness.
Though perfect, He experienced
each of our imperfections,
each of our struggles,
so He knows how to succour us.
He paid for each of our sins,
suffering the full extent of the law,
so we may be free to repent.
Emmanuel is no distant God.
He is with us.
