The Greatest Solution to the Greatest Problem

The most astounding fact in the history of man and creation is the Incarnation. The Incarnation means that God took on the nature of humans by conception. It is astounding because the creator became the creature. God entered creation and walked among mankind. It is astonishing that God who is the creator was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the blessed womb of a blessed lady. In Jesus Christ the human nature of man was combined with the divine nature of God. God took on the nature of man to save man because he is the God of Love. Through the Incarnation God reached for man who was lost and found him. It is the greatest solution to the greatest problem to have existed in creation. The problem was the separation of man from the Creator. The solution is greater than creation. The solution was God himself. But what was the solution of the Incarnation. The solution was that God who is infinite power, wisdom, truth, goodness and love emptied himself to become man who had emotions, bodily functions, hunger, thirst, pain, pleasure, hurts, sorrow, suffering, joy, desires, wishes, hopes, and laughter, everything that is a human except sin. The effect of emptying is humility. Jesus Christ was humble in his divinity. He that is infinitely powerful was infinitely humble. This is why nature and creation did not revolt when God entered the world and walked in his design. God became the person of Jesus Christ, a person with a divine nature and a human nature. Nature means the essence of something. It does not mean a part, or a subset, or divisibility but a whole. Jesus Christ was wholly God and Man. The body of man is visible, the soul of man is invisible but the soul’s fruits are visible. The same with Christ, his body was visible while on earth, his divinity invisible but the fruits of his divinity are visible.
