I was reading "On the Incarnation" by Athanasius and he really brings it home concerning the need for the cross, why the cross was perfect, and why God had to come to earth in the first place (in bodily form, God is always over his creation).I was struck with the awesome fact that GOD, our God and creator... became a man!?!?! How awesome and great is that miracle alone??? GOD became a MAN! That shouldnt happen! Why would God do that?
THAT is what love is.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:5-8
Ive definately been taking it for granted what a miracle that is, and how great our God is. BUT, it gets better... GOD, that same God we were talking about before, not only became incarnate...
...He died.
Wrap your head around that.
