The incarnation, God coming to us in the flesh as the babe, Jesus Christ, is not always easy for our human minds to understand. Infact, we often get tripped up in the details of how this could happen, which makes over gloss right over why it happened. God came to us in the Christ Child, because there was no other way. God had tried to set us on the right path, redeem us from our sin, by the words of the prophets. By the covenant that we broke time and time again. Now emerged the only way for us to have the path to Salvation - Jesus Christ. The one who would come and show us what it looks like to be in right relationship with our neighbors and God. The one who would give his very life for us on the cross.
The mystery of the incarnation may be the how, but it is no mystery why Jesus gave his very life for us. May we claim the greatest gift ever given this day and always.
