ALL GOD/ALL MAN

AT CHRISTMAS WE HEAR "AWAY IN A MANGER"
PART OF THE SONG SAYS
"THE CATTLE ARE LOWING, THE BABY AWAKES,
BUT LITTLE LORD JESUS, NO CRYING HE MAKES"

DID JESUS , AS A BABY, NOT CRY? HE WEPT WHEN HIS FRIEND LAZARUS DIED.
ISN'T CRYING SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR A BABY?

OR IS CRYING ALWAYS BAD?

WHEN HE WAS WORKING IN HIS EARTHLY FATHER'S CARPENTRY SHOP,
DID HE EVER MISS A NAIL AND HIT HIS FINGER?
IF HE DID...DIDN'T HE KNOW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
AND IF HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, WHY DID HE CONTINUE TO SWING THE HAMMER?

DID HE EVER MAKE A MISTAKE IN THE SHOP AND NEED TO DO IT OVER?
ESPECIALLY WHEN JOSEPH WAS TEACHING HIM?
OR WAS ALL HIS CARPENTRY WORK PERFECT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING?

SCRIPTURE TELLS US THAT "HE GREW IN FAVOR
WITH BOTH GOD AND MAN"

IN 4 PLACES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IT SAYS HE KNEW NO SIN.

HE IS GOD.

SCRIPTURE TELLS US HE WAS "TEMPTED IN ALL POINTS AS WE ARE."

HE IS MAN.

WHEN HE FACED THE CROSS IN GETHSEMANE, HE SAID, "FATHER IF IT IS POSSIBLE, MAY THIS CUP BE TAKEN FROM ME. (a human reaction) YET NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS YOU WILL."

I WILL NEVER, AT LEAST ON THIS EARTH, UNDERSTAND HIM FULLY. HE IS THE GOD-MAN. HE IS MY SAVIOUR!! HE UNDERSTANDS ME AND HE SHOWED HIS LOVE FOR ME EVEN THOUGH I AM A SINNER "HE DIED FOR ME".

ONLY THE GOD-MAN COULD DO THAT!!
