In his birth, we see Jesus as God with us. God has not kept His distance from us. He has come near to us. He has become one of us. He is God with us. This is how we know that God sympathizes with us in our suffering. He has suffered. He is the suffering God. We think of the question of suffering. We ask, "Why does God allow it?". We look at the Cross of Christ and we say, "God didn't allow it. God did it." He sent His Son to suffer death that we might receive life. Seeing our suffering in the light of Christ's suffering assures us that we are not left to go it alone. Jesus is there beside us. He is God with us.
