The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”–which means, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23
I’ve been asking this throughout the week, but why did God choose to live among us?
Why did he take on flesh to become like one of us?
Why did He limit himself and his powers and his presence by being born in a filthy trough?
Why did He do those things?
Why was it so important for Him to be with us, knowing how it would all end?
Today on the day that we celebrate this baby’s birth, never stop pondering those simple “why” questions.
