"It is here in the the thing that happened at the first Christmas, that the profoundest and most unfathomable depths of the Christian revelation lie. 'The Word became flesh' [John 1:14]; God became man; the divine Son became a Jew; the Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, unable to do more than lie and stare and wriggle and make noises, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. And there was no illusion or deception in this; the babyhood of the Son of God was a reality. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as the truth of the Incarnation."
--Dr. J.I. Packer
“And the Word became flesh!…in order to make us earthly beings into heavenly ones, in order to make sinners into saints; in order to raise us up from corruption into incorruption, from earth to heaven; from enslavement to sin and the devil – into the glorious freedom of children of God; from death – into immortality, in order to make us sons of God and to seat us together with Him upon the Throne as His royal children. O, boundless compassion of God! O, inexpressible wisdom of God! O, great wonder, astounding not only the human mind, but the angelic [mind] as well!”
~St. John of Kronstadt, Sermon on the Nativity of Jesus Christ

This is so very late
Jesus' humanity is soaked through with the divine response to God the Father -- it is a life that embodies God the Son or God the Word; and so it is a life without restriction, without rivalry or envy in its capacity for giving. At peace with God the Father, it is a life that makes peace in the human world wherever it is at work.
