The true Christmas story, which details the birth of Jesus Christ, reveals that God is not a cold and distant being who is unconcerned about our loneliness and trouble, but instead, He shows us in the midst of our mess. Pastor Dudley Rutherford teaches on Matthew 1:18-25 where see big trouble, a big announcement from an angel, and Mary and Joseph’s big trust in a big God. Don’t ever think God requires you to clean up your mess before He will rescue you and have a relationship with you. Our God is a loving and gracious God who comes to us in spite of our mess!
