Incarnation

"The feed trough was no afterthought. All along God has been doing His best to get next to us, humbling Himself to reach out to us. But nothing can match what happened that night in that Bethlehem cave. There a child was born among 'the sweet breath and streaming dung of beasts' and nothing is ever the same again... once [we] can never be sure where he will appear, or to what lengths he will go or what ludicrous depths of self-humiliation he will descend in his wild pursuit of man."   
      -Thoughts from a Dave Roper book

Twas much that man was made like God before,
But that God should be made like man- much more.           
     -John Donne
