THOUGHTS
Why Did He Do It?
“He gave up his place with God and made
himself nothing.” Philippians 2:7
Holiday
travel. It isn’t easy. Then why do we do it? Why cram the trunks and
endure the airports? You know the answer. We love to be with the ones we
love.
The
four-year-old running up the sidewalk into the arms of Grandpa.
The
cup of coffee with Mom before the rest of the house awakes.
That
moment when, for a moment, everyone is quiet as we hold hands around the
table and thank God for family and friends and pumpkin pie.
We
love to be with the ones we love.
May
I remind you? So does God. He loves to be with the ones he loves.
How
else do you explain what he did? Between him and us there was a distance---a
great span. And he couldn’t bear it. He couldn’t stand it. So he did
something about it. “He gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.”
From Max Lucado
