Gospel Reflections #550: Jesus was born as a man for us!

John 1:14 ”The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, the glory as the Father's only begotten Son, full of grace and truth. And we saw his glory as the Father's only begotten Son, full of grace and truth.

In His plan of salvation, God not only freed us from sin, but also sent Jesus into the world as a human being so that we could know God and choose Him.

Jesus showed us on our level how we human beings should connect and stay connected to God, so that we can know God through Him.

Jesus fulfilled God the Father's declaration of war against Satan on earth.

The crucifixion, though we have the impression of it as a cruel event, is a glorious symbol of God's triumph.

For this, the incarnation of Jesus was indispensable.

And the mystery of the Incarnation has a meaning beyond that of Christ becoming man.

The fact that God gave His Son means that the Savior's life, His death, His intercession, the service of angels, the entreaties of the Holy Spirit, the constant concern of God the Father and the inhabitants of heaven who work through all these things, all add their power for the salvation of man.

Jesus was born as a man for us!

Merry Christmas!
