God promises to be with us through every event and season in our lives. He isn’t with us as some far-away God, floating up in heaven. He comes as a human being, the eternal Son of God in the flesh, in Jesus Christ.
Jesus lived our experience. He rejoiced at the wedding reception at Cana, in Galilee. He mourned when his cousin, John the Baptist, and his friend, Lazarus, died. He struggled with God’s will in the Garden of Gethsemane. He suffered and died, so he could even be with us in our own suffering and death. Jesus is with all who believe in him no matter what.
Yet, Christians still feel alone. God gives a gift to Christians to remind us that we’re not. He gives us a congregation, filled with members who can show by word and action that God is with us.
