Listen to this blog.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
All men and women share a common bond of their humanity. We experience the same joys, troubles, challenges and struggles as every other human being who has ever lived. The old saying that tried to make this point is "No matter how important a man is, he still puts his pants on one leg at a time." The difference between you and the richest man in the world is the number of zeros at the end of his checking account balance.
Then comes the Incarnation! The Creator of everything that is came to this world to live as an ordinary man for more than thirty years. Jesus did not walk a mile in your shoes. Rather He walked for years and years without direct access to His real power and glory. Jesus even knew what it was like to be despised and rejected. He was a man of sorrows and was acquainted with grief. Even His closest disciples ran away from Him during His greatest hour of need. There is no one on earth who knows your pain like Jesus does.
Jesus is not like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, Jesus is real and not an imaginary person dreamed up to make children happy for a while. Jesus really lived here on earth and desires to be the most important person in your life. Jesus will give you peace where there is no peace. He will give you clarity of thought instead of confusion. With Jesus in your heart mountains of adversity become molehills instead.
"Jesus, I know the Words that say You love me, but doubt so fills my heart. Today, Lord Jesus show Your love to me and give me a Rose that could only come from You!"
