Our final lesson of 2022 is Knowing God: God With Us.
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." [Isaiah 7:14] The main reason we can know God is that God wants to be known. God wants to be known so much that he sent his own beloved son into the world to preach and teach and heal and love and to show us what it is like to be in a full relationship with God. Then, that perfect son died on a cross to redeem us and to restore us to communion with God. This is the miracle which we celebrate at Christmas and at Easter and which we will reflect upon this week. "Do not be afraid; for see -- I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord." [Luke 2:10-11]
