Here is the great mystery of our religion: Christ came as a human. The Spirit proved that he pleased God, and he was seen by angels. Christ was preached to the nations. People in this world put their faith in him, and he was taken up to glory.
1 Timothy 3: 16 - 17
The amazing truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is that God became a man! How could that be? How could the Almighty Creator of Heaven, Earth and everything else that is, transform Himself into the body of a human being and live among us for more than 30 years?
How He did it is really unknowable, but why Jesus became a man is clear and truly astounding. Jesus came to earth so that we could go to Heaven because He loves us! It is only because He came here that we can go there!
The closest we can come to understanding the love of Jesus is perhaps when we become a parent. The little baby given to you lets you know something of how much Jesus loves you! A parent would do anything for their child, and Jesus would do anything for you, in fact He did!
“Lord Jesus, I know that You became like me so that I can become like You! Help me Jesus to be more like You today, than ever before. Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen.”
