The Second Person in God, the Son, became human Himself: was born into the world as an actual man—a real man of a particular height, with hair of a particular color, speaking a particular language, weighing so many stone. The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus inside a woman’s body. If you want to get the hang of it, think how you would like to become a slug or a crab.
It would take a lot of love for any of us to agree to become a slug or as crab…even a porpoise or an osprey! Yet, that is exactly what God did. He become one of us in every way. He agreed to suffer pain, fear and loss, just as we, his children must suffer them so long as we have physical existence. This love, this presence with us, this shared suffering manifested God among us, Emmanuel, the light of the world.
This love, this light is armor for or us. It is the “real” us and will dispel darkness for us whenever we put it on. Put on love today, wear your light so all can see; just as God put it on to become us, so we could see. That light and love will reveal our true selves as children of God; to us and to all whom we touch.
Be the light,
