He really does love us. He loves us enough to leave His throne and walk among us. I mean, we've all seen those movies where a prince/princess or someone of great authority/popularity attempts to blend in with the everyday people. They put on a pair of sun glasses, a hat, and everyday clothes and hope they can walk among everyone without being noticed. However, Jesus did just the opposite. He didn't come to hide himself, but to reveal himself. He came to reveal God's glory, hope, and peace. And, He did it in the most amazing fashion.
Notice the background of our blog and the picture attached to this post. It is the recent Eclipse over Washington Family Ranch. Although we can gaze at the picture without ramifications, the actual eclipse required a special pair of sun glasses. Unfortunately, a gaze without eye protection would result in blindness. Jesus understood the light of the world would be too much for us to handle. So, what did He do? He came in the form of a child. He became fully human to be fully God in our presence. This blows me away! Jesus gave us "Son glasses" so that we could see, touch, and feel God. Jesus allows us to walk with, talk with, and learn from our Creator.
In Hidden Christmas it says, "Christmas and the incarnation mean that God went to infinite lengths to make himself one whom we can know personally." This is a God, I desire to know. I desire to know a God who desires to know me, one who knows every hair on my head and who knit me together. So, I ask, how often do you put on "Son glasses" (seek to know Jesus)? Where have you seen the Christ in Christmas this Advent season? Once you ponder what He's revealed to you, share it. Share Christ with others so they can experience the truth of His birth.
