We Will Soar With Jesus!

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

The humanity of Jesus Christ is indeed a great mystery!  How could the Son of Almighty God be born as a baby and live on this earth as a human being for thirty three years?  

When a missionary goes to a foreign land he may live like the people, but it is beyond his ability to become one of the people to whom he is preaching.  Jesus was a human baby and experienced everything every other baby experiences!  Jesus was a small child and then became a young man in his teen years.  Jesus was an adult and was tempted like we are even today, and yet He was without sin!

Jesus didn't simply come to deliver a message.  Jesus was the message.  Jesus didn't come to tell us about a solution to our problem of sin, Jesus was the solution to the problem of sin!  Jesus didn't simply open the door to Heaven, He is the door to God!  

Jesus didn't come so He could see the plight of our condition here on earth!  Jesus could see that from Heaven.  The Lord Jesus Christ came and put on the robe of our human nature so that we could put on the robe of His righteousness and live with Him forever!  

Jesus came as we are so that we can go and live with Him as He is!  Like a lowly worm becoming a butterfly carried by the wind we will soar throughout eternity with Jesus!

"Lord Jesus, thank You for taking on our humanity so that we can become like You.  Praise Your Holy Name now and forever.  Amen."
