Last week we looked back and remembered the momentous occasion when the first man walked on the moon. This seemingly impossible feat took many years of planning, dreaming, innovating, and manpower; Not to mention a whole lot of money! As remarkable as that event was, going to the moon is now of little interest to us. We have sent countless rockets, probes and shuttles into space since then. Now our sites are set on Mars and exploring other places in the Universe.
The anniversary got me to thinking about some of the greatest achievements in history. Some of them crafted in the minds of visionaries well before their time. Yet, in my opinion, the greatest event in human history had nothing to do with outer space or technology. It is the mind-boggling fact that the eternal, timeless, spacelessd, immaterial God, confined himself by his own choice. He not only confined himself and concealed his majesty in the form of a man, he first did it inside of the womb; which he had created. It would have been easy for Jesus to have just walked out from the desert or to appear on a mountainside. But no, God chose to identify with us in every single way- right from the start. Jesus knew all about the unpleasantires and vulnerabilities of being born, yet he went ahead with it anyway. What a Savior we have! Merry Christmas in July!
