coming to earth as an infant...
an infant.
i've been around my fair share of babies lately... boy, what a humble estate. they are completely helpless. they have to be fed. they suck their thumbs. they cry. they need help just to burp.
seriously, God in this form?
Couldn't He have brought Jesus to earth as a teenager at least? we dont even know anything really about his childhood... from the manger scene until we find him in the temple preaching at age twelve... nothing.
see, i always have these images of jesus as a servant in his humility... riding a donkey, washing feet, taking beatings, not speaking a word, dying an incredibly embarrassing death.
but how unbelievably humble is this picture of God coming as a baby.
jesus in diapers.
i think this just shows the characteristic of God in such a beautiful way.
fully human. fully god.
completely reliant. completely in control.
a child. a king.
a quiet birth. a change in history.
an infant. a savior.
the beginning of an end.
as will ferrell would say,
dear lord baby jesus.
it is the night of our dear savior's birth.
