From prince to servant, rich to poor, feast to famine, peace to war, perfection to total chaos, these are huge and drastic changes that we call opposites. However, these drastic changes pale in comparison I am sure to the change that happened when Jesus went from fully God in heaven, to fully human in our messed up world.
Going from glorified in Heaven to a small baby on earth; talk about an other worldly experience. I can only began to imagine what they transition was like for him. Yet Jesus was willing to set aside his glory so that one day, we could live with him. That is love beyond comprehension.
That first Christmas was like the beginning of a book or first part of a story that would take years to fully unfold.

Wonderfully written Sarah! :) Yes, it's so true, what a stark contrast from Heaven to this world. Not a very nice thing..I'm sure we wouldn't want to leave it! Yet Christ loved us sooooo much, that He came, and was then willing to live His life and die for us. :) HBow could we not love Him back? :)
Love and Hugs!
Merry Christ-mas!

Sarah - beautifully written. I enjoy reading your posts, and I have recently ran across something that I have felt like I have to share with everyone.
THE VOICE is a fresh expression of the timeless narrative known as the Bible. Stories of God’s goodness that were told to each generation by their grandparents and leaders were recorded and assembled to form the Christian Scriptures. Too often, the passion, grit, humor, & beauty have been lost in the translation process. THE VOICE seeks to recapture what was lost. To learn more and download a free copy of the Gospel of John click here! www.hearthevoice.com This audio version really brings the Bible to life in a whole new way, and I definitely encourage everyone to take the time to check it out!
What a great reminder :) When I think of Jesus leaving heaven to become one of us, I think of something Oswald Chambers said, and it always convicts me: "Beware of posing as a profound person; God became a baby." Love that :)
Hope you have a wonderful, blessed, merry Christmas!
