For thousands of years, God gave us His voice. Prior to Bethlehem, He gave His messengers,
His teachers, His words. But in the manger, God gave us Himself.
Christianity celebrates God's great descent. His nature does not trap Him in heaven, but leads Him to earth. In God's great gospel He not only sends, He becomes; He not only looks down... He lives with us as one of us. Max Lucado shared those words above and he reminds us of Jesus who said
(from John 10:10)
"I came to give life - life in all its fullness."
From Max Lucado's "He Chose the Nails".
