God with us

In this sermon, Vahé unpacks Jacob's dream where he sees a ladder/staircase linking heaven and earth. He unpacks the extraordinary truth that God comes down the staircase to be with Jacob (Genesis 28:10-22, NRSV). Jesus references this dream in John 1:51 and makes the amazing claim that He is the One who comes down from heaven to be with us. Jesus is God with us. Vahé further describes practices he has found helpful to grow in our awareness of God's presence with us. Finally, he encourages us to hold on to the truth that God is committed to us, is with us, and is for us. As we do so, we are promised both freedom from fear and strength to persevere.
