The One Who Came in Person

Fellow Labourers-

Those of us who are fathers or mothers can best relate to the gist of this article. Why did God have to come in person? Permit me to be personal on this subject. Our son Zachary has not been home for some time, but we have visited him and talked with him over the phone.Yet, we longed for him each passing day. This morning I needed something and it was in his room. My wife went to get it, and as she opened the door I saw Zachary's half smiling face in the bed. Do you know what that did for me? I asked his mother how she felt seeing him in the bed, to which she replied with a look of love in her eyes-I am not telling you.

Now consider the love of God for his creation. God so loved that he gave and continues to give. God's love for us is not an impersonal love. It is a love that requires Him to come in the flesh and dwell among us. It is not just for Himself that He came; He came for us to have a human experience with Him. What a God!! "The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell. It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell. Oh love of God how rich and pure, how measureless and strong. It shall forever more endure, the saints' and angels' song."

Pax Vobiscum,
