It All Happened at a Remarkable Moment


''He gave up His place with God
and made himself nothing.
He was born to be a man
and become like a servant''
~ Philippians 2:7


While we all remember the birth of Jesus Christ as a silent night with almost romantic setting, we also put into mind that God came to earth with a eternal mission of ending our slavery to sin... once and for all. It all happened in a most remarkable moment... a moment like no other...

God became man. Divinity arrived on earth. Heaven opened and placed the Almighty One in a human womb. The Omnipotent, in one instant, became flesh and blood. The one who was larger than the universe became a microscopic embryo. And He who sustains the world with a word chose to be dependent upon the nourishment of a young girl. God has visited man on earth.

What is man that You are mindful of him,
and the son of man, that You visit him?
For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
and have crowned him with glory and honor.

You made him rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet
~ Psalm 8:4-6


With Christ Jesus, we share the mission of telling mankind about God's love and the truth in Jesus Christ. To tell all about the slavery to sin and the the salvation freely given with the promise of eternal life. Many still do not know the true meaning why God came to earth. When given the opportunity, tell them about God's love and the good news of salvation.
