God’s presence is what our first parents lost upon their exile from Eden, but it is what God is faithful to restore in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His presence brings life where there is death, hope where there is despair, and peace where there is chaos. At this very moment — amidst a dead, despairing, and chaotic generation — we have the presence of Christ with us. What a heartening truth, especially right now. Come and learn of God’s presence through Christ among us.
