On this first day of December when we now just have 24 days to go until Christmas, I want to remind you that Christ didn’t come to earth to look down on us, he came to live just as we live, and to be our Saviour.
That is why to be near to God and to tell others about God, we must be who we are where we are, and not locked away in a place where we think we may be nearer to Him. Christ needs us to be with the people of this world, so we can teach them about God, so live amongst the people.
I sought to hear the voice of God and climbed the topmost steeple, but God declared: “Go down again – I dwell among the people.” ~ John Henry Newman
