So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
John 1:14
Have you ever contemplated what REALLY happened on Christmas? A baby was born in a barn, put in a feed trough, and shepherds came to visit... We know that story from Luke's Gospel. But what REALLY happened?
Think about this: When that baby was conceived, Jesus left Heaven! Did you get that? Jesus walked away from Heaven! Not only that, but Jesus CHOSE to become one of us . And if THAT weren't enough, Jesus CHOSE to live among us! Jesus left ALL the glory of Heaven, because Abba knew that we need Him!
Let me be brutally honest...If we were living in Heaven (the ONLY Perfect Place anywhere), what would your response be to the people of earth? We may have "holy thoughts" and believe we would do exactly as Jesus did, but my response would most likely be something along the line of "Y'all are on your own."
Aren't you glad Jesus is the one who made the decision?
