Jesus came down

"And she brought forth her firstborn Son (Jesus), and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:7

Water flows down to the lower part. That is the law of gravity and it is its nature. Water does not flow to a higher side but to the lower side. Another thing we can notice is that flowing water is vital and fresh. There is no life in a still water.

When we think of Jesus, He came ‘down’ to us. This is amazing because Jesus is nothing like water. He is the Creator Himself and the Ruler of the Universe. He made the law of gravity. He does not need to come down but stay wherever He wants to be. Yet He humbled Himself and came down to us like water. He came down to the lowest part of the earth in the form of a baby and that wasn’t just it. He had no place to rest, so He was laid down in a manger. But because of His humble sacrifice He brought life to us. We are graced by the flowing sacrifice of Jesus and thus we were give life again.

We want to learn this humility of Jesus Christ. We need the heart of Jesus.
