The miracle of the incarnation of God penetrates beyond human thought and understanding. How can Almighty God to make man - is actually a question many Muslims and many people irrespective of their religion? And I once asked: "What a God so great, so boundless and omnipotent, he could make us human? "My dear, if you could not do it, there would have been Great and Almighty. Ie it shows a quality of His omnipotence. Nothing is too hard for the Lord! The question should not be "How?" But, "Why did he take the human body?"
Our sinful condition
Adam and Eve, the first people sinned. From them since all are born with a sinful nature. Each of us is affected by sin that we inherit at birth. The Bible says:
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
When you say all you have învedere and you, my dear. All new, large and small have sinned before God.
All I got like unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy dirty. We are all shrunken like a leaf, and take away our iniquities like the wind. There is no one to call your name or get up and to hold of thee: and we have hidden your face and leave us to perish in our iniquities. (Isaiah 64:6-7)
Act of God
The universe we live in a law applicable among nonbelievers. For every evil work is well known that it would have to pay back. If you steal something, you must turn, if you beat someone, if you killed someone should be punished. Even those who declare themselves atheists, talk of moral values, about justice. All law has its origin in God. Master of the Universe is One who lives according to certain laws. God has a law. And his law says:
For who walks with strâmbătate will receive for the strâmbătatea you did, and there is no respect of persons. (Colossians 3:25)
All God's law says:
And, according to the law almost all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood is no remission. (Hebrew 9:22)
Blood spoken of here is blood jetfei be to God for sins. But some blood, but a pure and sinless saint. Only such blood could bring us forgiveness. Where you can find in the universe such Jerte perfect?
Jesus became a sacrifice for us
de faptele moarte, ca să slujiţi Dumnezeului celui Viu! (Evrei 9:13-14) For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the defiled, sanctifies and brings clean body, the more the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit, has made himself a sacrifice without spot of God will cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God (Hebrew 9:13-14)
Sacrifices made by law only covered for a while fornication, but human mind still remain sinful. Engine that produces sin remained untouched and went man from sin to sin, never being fully released. Therefore God had to make a perfect sacrifice, a sacrifice without spot, who will be able to cover before Him all the sins of mankind, not only for a year but forever. Who will be this sacrifice? No one in humanity that could not be found suitable to become this sacrifice. Nobody but one: the Son of God, a lamb without blemish and without spot, Jesus Christ is true God. Only he alone in the universe fit to fulfill this need crying, extremely high humanity - need deliverance from the bondage of sin. But it had to travel a difficult road and difficult. God of heaven and earth, had become man like us ... And my dear, in the person of Jesus Christ, God came to us.
So, but, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, so he himself was equally adept at them, so that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, the devil, and deliver them to through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily, He comes not of angels but the seed of Abraham. Therefore had to be made like His brethren in all things, as can be, in things pertaining to God, a merciful High Priest and faithful, to make atonement for the sins of the people. And, in that He Himself was tempted suffering can come to help those who are tempted. (Hebrew 2:14-18)
This was the way chosen by God. Only then was it possible our deliverance from the power of death and the devil who held us captive. Only the death of Jesus was able to break the evil one who through fear of death held us captive for life.
But anyone says here. "Well, if Jesus Christ is God, then God could not save us in some other way? He is master of the universe and not give an accounting to anyone, could not find another way? "
God can not deny Himself
Yes, it could have done otherwise, but he can not deny Himself. A "deny" means to declare to be untrue to deny. In other words, God can not deny the truth about himself and the truth of Scripture. He never goes beyond what is written. Satan can find many other ways, but God remains faithful to His Word. If he had gone beyond what is written, then how could He then ask us to obey Him nine and Holy Scritpură. Only we still find excuses why we can not listen to fulfill his word.
If we are faithless, He remains faithful, He can not deny Himself. (2 Timothy 2:13)
And he remains so faithful yesterday, today and forever (Hebrew 13:8). Which brings us great encouragement and confidence ninth this truth. How would you feel with a spouse who always promises, but he gives the word come to fulfill promises, forgotten, or worse never said that he had promised? You can also rely on such a man? That's why God chose to not break his word never, as can then ask us the same thing.
I would now like to tell you in closing a case that I heard these days and I think that illustrates our subject today:
It was in England on Christmas Eve. Wife and children were preparing to go to church to celebrate the birth of Jesus with all. His wife and asked her husband to go with them. To which he replied: "I'm not going anywhere! I do not want to celebrate his birthday. Why did? Who asked him to come to earth? I, or another man? No, nobody made any invitation, why not to come. "Everybody went to church, but he stayed home. While watching TV, in darkness and cold than outside, he noticed that some birds are fighting in the window wanting to come home. The cold was so great that they did not want to stand out but he sought a refuge. The man went out and making them the mercy of them decided to open their garage door and give the birds allowed to warm up there. But the birds continued to beat on the glass. The man then went into the garage and the bunting down some seeds, some food that can bring them all safe. But all his attempts, I gave no results. Birds have not even seen his effort to accommodate them. Looking desperately to them, man asked: "How can I give them shelter?" And then a voice said in his heart: "if someone would be bird they could talk to them and show them the way to your shelter. "
My dear, this is why God had to become man and become like one of us.
November all like sheep have gone astray, each saw his own way, but the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6)
He became partaker of flesh and blood, was tempted as we all, because today could assist all who are tempted. What a great grace you showed you God! You recognize it? That God came to us in the flesh of man, it does not show his weakness but a great power, understanding that most times we go beyond. You are the central reason why God made flesh and dwelt among us full of grace and truth! Come to my dear and he wholeheartedly believes in the sacrifice of Jesus was made for you, today you not to wander without a shepherd, but to find peace in his wings.
Merry Christmas to you!
