Why did Jesus have to become one of us?
The Creator of the universe chose to become one of us – divinity wrapped in humanity! Jesus, Immanuel, God with us, didn’t just drop by for a quick visit. He became like us to bring “good news of great joy” and reveal the Father’s heart in a way we can truly grasp.
In this Christmas message, I explore how Jesus’ journey from Heaven to Earth was about more than just a manger scene. It was about showing us what God is really like, making us part of His family, and transforming our lives with His presence.
Join me as we celebrate the profound truth of this divine-human connection. It’s a Christmas story of God’s presence in us that promises to bring joy and hope to your holiday season!
