Why did Jesus come to this Earth?
I hate when My dog gets me up in the middle of the night to take her outside in the freezing cold so that she can sniff the snow, get frozen feet and Ill have to carry her back inside. How much more difficult would it have been for the God of Gods to confine himself to a woman's womb and depend on her body to supply his needs. Imagine if she didn't get the right nutrients from food, or if she took a tumble and He felt it, God was meant to be the one that all of life got its sustenance from and now he was receiving sustenance from his creation. Think of the humility that God showed. I have to be honest if I had the choice I don't think I would want to become an ant so that I could save ants? But that is what God did simply because he loved us.
Love doesn't come from religion, religion is all about the law and law is void of love. It can come from relationship but I have a lot of relationships with people I don't love. It isn't guaranteed to Come from Fallowing I regularly fallow the car in front of me on a road trip so they get caught speeding not me but I don’t love the car for it.
Love flows out of dependence. I love the thing that I am most dependent on. I go out of my way to be around those things and people. I depend on Elizabeth and she depends on me we live in mutual dependence and I can not imagine life separate from her. People fall out of love when they no longer live mutually submitted to one another.
Jesus chose to live dependent on Mary he further pledged his dependence on us as his favorite creation and tied part of himself to us in the form of Jesus. He invites us to live dependent on him. I think the image of a baby in the womb is the concept that God wants to use to help explain himself to us. He desires that we abide in him. That all of our life, all of our security, all of our Hope comes from our connection from him. He invites us to that kind of Life and that is the reason he came. Love comes from presence, humility, awareness, and being in dependency.
Jesus came to Earth to show God’s Love and he proved it when he came to us so that we could truly live.
