Jesus as a Baby, Mind-blowing

My son Michael and I are out for dinner, talking and the subject of the incarnation just came up. So we decided to blog about it. It's hard to think of Jesus as a baby, God as a human. Even if you know it is true it is still the craziest thing to think of, still mind-blowing regardless. Still makes you worship Him because of how Great His love is. I think of the song "O Holy Night", my favorite line goes like this, "long lay the world in sin and error pining, til He appeared and the soul felt it's worth".

Jesus Christ came into the world because of sin and God is glorified through His entrance into a world of sin, all because of sin and all because of His good purposes that were determined before the foundation of the world, before any sin had been done. He created Adam and Lucifer with the knowledge that they would sin.

Back to Jesus as a baby. The One who made the world independently came into that world as a dependent. The One who spoke the world into existence had to learn a language. And the One to Whom all worship and obedience is due learned obedience through the things He suffered. Crazy stuff and totally true.
