John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and lived among us.”
The God of the universe left the glory of heaven and moved into the neighborhood. Our neighborhood! Why? Because He loves to be with the ones he loves!
There is a remarkable story about a man injured in a fire. While attempting to save his parents, his face was burned and disfigured. He wouldn’t let anyone see him, including his wife. When she went to a plastic surgeon for help, the doctor assured her that he could restore her husband’s face. But she wasn’t there to restore her husband’s face. She wanted her face disfigured so she could share in his pain.
It’s the way God feels about us. He took on our face, our disfigurement. He became like us—to show us how far he will go to be with the ones he loves!
