He Came to me

Hello Everyone,
Think about this:
· Jesus who owns the universe, came into this world, and had to find a place to be born.
· Jesus who is Almighty, came into this world, and needed to be carried by human hands.
· Jesus who has everything in His control came into this world and was despised by man.

This CONDESCENSION is a big thing. Martin Luther said: "The mystery of the humanity of Christ, that he sunk himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding."

Why? Why did God do such a thing? John uses these words: "He came to His own..." (1:11); He wants us to be "children of God" (1:12). God desires a relationship with us.
This desire, or love to have fellowship with us is so great that He is willing to do whatever He can to make this possible, even if it means the sacrifice of Jesus.

- God came and lived among us. He has to reveal Himself to us in an understandable way, and this is precisely what Jesus did - became flesh just like you and me. He made Himself understandable.

Phil 2:6-9 "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!"

I am glad that this happened, because it shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that God desires to reach down to me... God is beyond my reach, but I’m not beyond His reach.

He lowered Himself so that I can reach Him. Christ’s birth brought the infinite God within reach of finite man.

And I come to understand His heart to me - He loves me and longs to communicate His love to me. He wants to bless me and save me!
He loves you and longs to have a relationship with you, He wants to bless you and save you. Receive Him today right where you are.

All for Jesus
Phil
