His Incarnation Explained: His Humility

Reflections: We can’t adequately understand everything that the incarnation meant. (Incarnation is the theological term for God coming to earth in human form through Jesus Christ.) Imagine the glory of heaven. Now imagine giving it up.

That’s what Jesus did. He traded in his throne for a manger. He gave up worship for rejection. He gave up bliss for pain. He gave up life for death.

That is the humble, selfless love of Christ. Without his humility, there would be no Christmas. Much worse than that, apart from the humble love of Christ there would be no Christianity. No hope. No eternity.
