John 1:14 (NIV) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.“
I think it’s noteworthy that the Almighty God didn’t act high and mighty. The Holy One wasn’t holier than thou. The One who knew it all, wasn’t a know-it-all. The One who made the stars didn’t keep His head in them. The One who owns all the stuff of earth never strutted it. Never. He could have. Oh, how He could have. He could have been a name-dropper. Hey, did I ever tell you of a time when Moses and I went up on the mountain? He could have been a showoff: Want me to beam you into the 20th century? He could have been a smart-alec: I know what you are thinking, want me to prove it? He could have been highbrow and uppity: I’ve got some property on Jupiter. Jesus could have been all those things, but He wasn’t. His purpose was not to show off, but to show up” (Max Lucado).
