Jesus left the comfort of equality with God to gestate for nine months and become God in human form (Matthew 1:23; John 1:29; Hebrews 2:17). Jesus, the second member of the godhead, was born by natural means by way of a miraculous conception. That holy one of God nursed on the breast of a woman, and ate food that we may turn our nose up at, wore sandals and no doubt had dirty feet. He enjoyed no “creature comforts” that we so often take for granted (Matthew 8:20). We often enjoy the safety of a place to go and get away. Jesus was hunted from the time His birth was announced (Matthew 2:13). Surely, we can adore Him for coming into this world!

No title on earth can rival the name one wears that belongs to the host of heaven. No position of politics or cooperate power can equal the place that being a “child” in Gods family affords.
