A Child Is Born

For unto us a Child is born,
​​Unto us a Son is given;
​​And the government will be upon His shoulder.
​​And His name will be called
​​Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
​​Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
  -- Isaiah 9:6

So, one day I wrote about the humanness of Jesus in a down to earth way, but then I feel that guilt it brings and must bring out the divine. After all, how does that baby poop fit with the Prince of Peace? We get both in Jesus of course, and my little mind struggles to encompass them together in one little child. Would the Magi have bowed down to the Child if they had to change His soiled swaddling cloths? They had better! And so must we. Jesus is both the human son of Mary, and the glorious Son of God. Yes, my earthly mind threatens to rebel over that. The problem is not then who Jesus is, but with the earth-born mind. It is no wonder then that we must be reborn in the Spirit of God. When even the thought of the Christ Child as both God and little human baby sets up such a clash for us, we need God's Spirit in us to help us.

We may never figure it out, but we will know He is!
