I don't know why, but if you receive Jaquelle's Rose Garden posts via email, you won't have gotten yesterday's post yet. I'm not sure what that's all about, but hopefully this one will come through fine. Today I want to share a quote from J.I. Packer regarding the Incarnation, when God became flesh, first shared by the girltalkers.
"It is here, in the thing that happened at the first Christmas, that the profoundest and most unfathomable depths of the Christian revelation lie. ‘The Word became flesh’ (Jn. 1:14); God became man; the divine Son became a Jew; the Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, unable to do more than lie and stare and wriggle and make noises, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. And there was no illusion or deception in this: the babyhood of the Son of God was a reality. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as is this truth of the Incarnation."
