Man
needed redemption not only from sin but also from himself. In order to
accomplish that, God had to become a man, be victorious over all that
vexes mankind, return to heaven, and from there dispense His victorious
life to all who would ask. We have to wonder what it was like for Him
who created the entire universe to wake up in the morning and discover
Himself in the body of a baby. Imagine waking up and finding yourself in
a coffin six feet under the ground. Would you panic, beat the sides of
the coffin, yell, scream, and plead for deliverance? The body in which
He found Himself was indeed a coffin, for in it He would die, but when
God yielded Himself to living as a man, He humbled Himself.

A child of God- beloved, holy, righteous, blameless, healed, forgiven, brand new, sheep, salt, light, a branch, temple of God, reconciled, a saint, God's workmanship, hidden with Christ in God, an expression of the life of Christ because He is my life, a partaker, a living stone- crucified with Christ, I no longer live but Christ lives IN ME!
