But in reality, that particular moment was like none other. For through that segment of time a spectacular thing occurred. God became a man. While the creatures of the earth walked unaware, Divinity arrived. Heaven opened herself and placed her most precious one in a human womb.
The Omnipotent, in one instant, made himself breakable. He who had been spirit became pierceable. He who was larger than the universe became an embryo. And he who sustains the world with a word chose to be dependent on the nourishment of a young girl.
God as a fetus. Holiness sleeping in a womb. The creator of life being created.
-Max Lucado, “It Began in a Manger”
I wish every one of you a wonderful Christmas and remember the meaning behind this day. Jesus became a man so he could one day die for our sins. Even if you don’t believe in Him, even if you hold hate in your heart towards Him, He still loves you unconditionally and died on that day for you. There is no greater love than His.
