Reading Luke chapter 1 today...
"But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end."" Luke 1:30-33 (NIV)
Have you ever asked, "Why did Jesus need to come as he did?"
I mean, for thousands of years God related to his people through prophets or angels. And then he picked a specific time in history when he decided to appear as a man; to live as a man, and to die on a cross, as a man.
Why?
We are just a few weeks away from the celebration of that amazing birth! God with us, Emmanuel. A time when God became man, and walked among us.
Those of you who habitually read the Daily Rock, know that more often than not I give my own thoughts on questions I ask. But this time, I'd like to simply leave you with that question.
Why did Jesus need to come as he did? Why did God decide to save mankind by becoming one of us?
