The Incarnation
The most famous portion of Michelangelo’s masterpiece on the Sistine Chapel ceiling is called The Creation of Adam. Adam reclines on a rock, while God, rushing by in the clouds, extends His creative finger toward the first man. Adam reaches out toward God and their outstretched fingers almost meet—but they do not touch.
Contrast this image with the beauty of the incarnation: God becoming flesh so that He might not only be close to His creation, but also live as one of us, fully human and fully divine. The word “incarnation” may sound like a formal theological word, but it’s really a word that represents incredible intimacy.
Jesus became a baby, then a child, then an adolescent, and then a grown man—so that He could intimately relate to us in every way. There is no sacrifice that can compare with His.
Activity: Spend some time alone in nature. Contemplate how Jesus’ earthly life enables Him to relate to you right where you are.

Über diesen Leseplan
In einer stillen Nacht vor 2000 Jahren verkündeten Engel ein paar Hirten bei ihren Schafen die Nachricht, dass der Retter geboren sei. Daraufhin verließen diese Hirten alles, um ein Kindlein in einer Krippe in Betlehem zu suchen. Und diese Einladung ist bis heute dieselbe. Mach dich mit Dr. Charles Stanley auf den Weg, näher zu deinem Retter zu finden und lass dich von ihm ermutigen, in der Adventszeit Ruhe in der Liebe des Vaters zu finden.
