God Sent His Son to be Human!

What makes "Christmas" so wonderfully unique is not that God sent His Son to the earth as a "baby" but rather as a "human" - the incarnation - God becomes man. To emphasize Jesus coming as a baby only confuses unbelievers, for all begin as babies. What makes Jesus so wonderfully awesome is that He came to be human, beginning as a baby. Coming as a human then begs the evangelistic question, "What was He before becoming human?" He was and continues to be Emmanuel - God with us. There the gospel begins to unfold.
