The Incarnation
The most famous portion of Michelangelo’s masterpiece on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is called The Creation of Adam. Adam reclines on a rock, while God, rushing by in the clouds, extends His creative finger toward the first man. Adam reaches out toward God and their outstretched fingers almost meet—but they do not touch.
Contrast this image with the beauty of the incarnation: God becoming flesh so that He might not only be close to His creation, but also live as one of us, fully human and fully divine. The word “incarnation” may sound like a formal theological word, but it’s really a word that represents incredible intimacy.
Jesus became a baby, then a child, then an adolescent, and then a grown man—so that He could intimately relate to us in every way. There is no sacrifice that can compare with His.
Activity: Spend some time alone in nature. Contemplate how Jesus’ earthly life enables Him to relate to you right where you are.

Aangaande hierdie leesplan
Op 'n stil nag, meer as 2 000 jaar gelede, het engele die nuus van die Verlosser se geboorte aan 'n groep herders gebring waar hulle skape opgepas het. Nadat hulle die nuus gehoor het, het hulle alles net so gelos om 'n baba in 'n krip in Betlehem te gaan soek. Oor al die jare heen, het die uitnodiging nie verander nie. Dr. Charles Stanley gaan jou help om nader aan die Here te kom en jou aanmoedig om tydens hierdie Kersgety, tyd te maak om rus in die Vader se liefde te vind.
