“And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us”. John 1:14.
Our God loved us so much as to become
human, live among us and die for us. What a magnanimous, powerful and loving
deed! How can I ever fathom such
incomprehensive love?
Jesus was put to death
on a cross experiencing rejection, humility and excruciating pain. “Greater love has no one than this that
one lay down his life for his friends. John 17:19” And the words that came from
the cross were “Father forgive them, they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34
God will never stop
loving you, me and every person in the world just as we are. I can respond to that love by reaching out to
serve others.
Moreover, Jesus taught
us how to live. When caught in a dilemma, I can now say, “What Would Jesus Do? (WWJD)”.
For example, I’m in a situation where I don’t know because I am driving to the
hospital to be with my dying father when I am the first to come upon an
accident where immediate help is needed. WWJD? Or, I am visiting a group of friends who constantly
carry on with gossiping about others. WWJD??
