"Shout and be glad, Jerusalem. I am coming and I will live among you," says the Lord." Zechariah 2:10
God became a baby. He entered a world . . . of problems and heartaches.
"The Word became human and lived her on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness" John 1:14 (NLT).
The operative word of the verse is among. He lived among us. He donned the costliest of robes; a human body. He made a throne out of a manger and a royal court out of some cows. He took a common name - Jesus - and made it holy. He took a common people and made them the same. He could have lived over us or away from us. But he didn't. He lived among us.
He became a friend of the sinner and brother of the poor. - When Christ Comes
