A.W. Tozer reflects on the profound mystery of the Incarnation,
emphasizing that Jesus, the Eternal One, humbled Himself to become flesh
and dwell among humanity. He expresses a longing to have witnessed the
baby Jesus, while also recognizing that this humble child was the
Creator of all things, including the very manger that held Him. Tozer

CONTENT

I have given much thought and contemplation to the sweetest and
tenderest of all of the mysteries in God's revelation to man-the
Incarnation! Jesus, the Christ, is the Eternal One, for in the fullness
of time He humbles Himself John's description is plain: the Word was
made flesh and dwelt among us. I confess that I would have liked to have
seen the baby Jesus. But the glorified Jesus yonder at the right hand of
the Majesty on high, was the baby Jesus once cradled in the manger
straw. Taking a body of humiliation, He was still the Creator who made
the wood of that manger, made the straw, and was Creator of all the
beasts that were there. In truth, He made the little town of Bethlehem
and all that it was.

He also made the star that lingered over the scene that night.

He had come into His own world, His Father's world. Everything we touch
and handle belongs to Him. So we have come to love Him and adore Him and
honor Him!
