The Son

“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.”1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When someone sends an expensive gift we tend to be in awe. When someone sends a baby called The Son of God we are perplexed. Why did God send a baby and not a man? Jesus was helpless and dependant for several years, He did not do any ministry until he was 30.

I cannot explain why God chose to send a baby instead of a man. However, I am grateful He did. He trusted Mary and Joseph with His Son. I am grateful that in sending Him His angels appeared to shepherds, the lowest of low. I am grateful for the glimpse of Him we see at 12 in the temple. I am sure Mary could have written a book, perhaps she did, we do not know.

Jesus will rerun again, as a man, the King to rule the earth. Then the earth will see His power and glory. Then it will know His justice and judgement.

However, Jesus’ first coming displayed His humility and servant hood. He only did what He saw His father do. He was obedient to death on the cross and because of that rose from the grave and ascended into heaven. He bought our freedom from sin and eternal damnation. Because of His humble coming I am free ! Amen!
