And the Word Became Flesh

Here's a thought...

the God of the universe actually took on human form and came to earth...

... because He loves us

...and He wants us to know Him...

...and we can't "know" Him in our sinfulness, except on His terms...through believing that Jesus is God and that He took on our sin and paid the penalty for us, making a way for us to have access to the Father

"The Word became a human being and lived here with us.
We saw his true glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father.
From him all the kindness and all the truth of God
have come down to us." John 1:14

Light looked down and beheld Darkness.

"Thither will I go," said the Light.

Peace looked down and beheld War.

"Thither will I go," said Peace.

Love looked down and saw Hatred.

"Thither will I go," said Love.

So came Light and shone.

So came Peace and gave rest.

So came Love and brought Life.

"God showed his love for us when he sent his only Son into the world to give us life. Real love isn't our love for God, but his love for us. God sent his Son to be the sacrifice by which our sins are forgiven. " I John 4:10
