GOD BECOMING MAN

GOD BECOMING MAN

BY DR MERVYN ABREO

         

          Many people find it difficult, and in some cases even impossible, to accept the fact that God ‘came down’ on earth, and became a Man, in the Person of Jesus Christ.

          Their argument is that God, Who is so infinitely great, would never leave His exalted position and ‘cheapen’ Himself by becoming a mere human being!

          In truth God has to ‘cheapen’ Himself and come down to our level, or else we would never be able to communicate with Him.

          Because it’s all about COMMUNICATION!!

          And weather He came down and become a man, or only spoke to the prophets, He had to ‘cheapen’ Himself and come down to our level!

          COMMUNICATION requires two items: a transmitter and a receiver.

          When we speak to one another our vocal cords, which produce a sound, acts as the transmitter. And the auditory organs (the ear), act as the receiver.

          COMMUNICATION with God also essentially requires these two elements.

          We say that God is a Spirit Being. This is not fully true! He is infinitely ‘more’ than that. He is unfathomable!

           He has created us with a body, a soul and a spirit. And He can communicate with us using any of these as receptors. We may hear Him when He ‘speaks’ to us. Or we may see Him when He ‘shows’ Himself to us in visions called Theophany.

  

                                  

         

          But usually when He communicates with us, we are able to spiritually discern, what He is ‘saying’ to us.

          And it is exclusively for this reason that He has created in us a spirit (the receiver) and ‘come down’ in the form of a Spirit (the transmitter) so that He can communicate with us.
             And therefore, in order to facilitate even better communication, He came down to our level, and became Man!

          This is for those who find it difficult to believe that God can become a human being.

          But we Christians know that God came down as Jesus to communicate with us So that we can identify with Him, and also to be a role model for us. And ultimately, to die for us, so that He can take our place, and we, who actually deserve death, can live for all eternity with Him.

P.S. In eternity we will only perceive Him to the extent He will reveal Himself to us!
