Jesus leaves the glory and majesty of Heaven and takes on flesh and blood. He becomes one of us. He doesn’t leave his deity behind, but he takes on humanity. He is fully God and fully human at the same time. Yes, it is miraculous.


Main Points:

1. Not only does Jesus take on humanity. He moves into our world, our neighborhood, our very lives. He experienced what we experienced. He knew joy, happiness, friendship, love, temptation, sadness, frustration, and sorrow. He even experienced suffering and death on our behalf.

2. This is what Jesus has done for you and me. He moved into our lives. He moved into our families. He moved into our neighborhood.

3. We have a Savior who knows, who understands, and who cares. On His initiative, Jesus came to earth to live as we live, to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for our sins. What an incredible thought. Jesus moved into the neighborhood.
