Sin can't stand in the presence of God. Light and darkness can't mix. So we hide from God because of our sin. But at Christmas, God now hides Himself in man. Christmas is a proclamation of good news! God is beginning His work of salvation. The baby in the manger is the Messiah, God's Son, coming to be a light for us in the darkness and to show us the way to salvation. Christmas reminds us that God has given to us the greatest gift of all time, His Son, wrapped in human flesh. We can now become children of God and heirs of His kingdom. We need not hide anymore!
