Today’s scripture: John 1:14
It’s a mystery beyond human comprehension. God, who created the universe with a word, chose to come to earth and take human form.
He chose to walk among those He Himself created.
He chose to experience what we do: weariness, pain … betrayal and rejection.
He knew He would … and He did it anyway.
For flawed, fleshly us. For those who accept Him … and for those who don’t.
I don’t understand it. I honestly don’t. If I were Him (and we can all be really happy I’m not!), I would have had a much different plan. Certainly, not one where I’d sacrifice myself for … well, for someone like me.
But that’s grace. That’s how much He loves us. Even knowing who we’d be, our God—“full of grace and truth”—came to earth … for us.
It’s a mystery …
