As a Christian I have no problem embracing the idea why the Creator enters in to His creation and sets examples on what he wants, how His fallen creatures should live and to show us the way to Him. God is all powerful and if He can create the universe, then a little matter of incarnation is not really a problem for Him. Only a limited man made construct for god can’t, or disdains the idea, or disputes the redemptive need to do that. 

The sad thing for me is how often Muslims, Atheists and non-Christians ridicule the incarnation of the Word as an impossibility, as something that is “beneath God’s dignity” or ask how could the Impassable and Unapproachable One suffer? In fact, the incarnation as a suffering servant is the most loving act God could do to manifest His superabundant ‘agape’ loving nature. What more could He have done? 

The Holy One who dwells in unapproachable light and is worshiped by angelic hosts, who is unable to suffer, to be tempted or even look upon sin, took on a human form so that He could share in our hardships and empathise with our weakness. And so He could be literally “made sin” by dying the most excrutiating humiliating death. All that so we would know He does not disdain to become a servant in love and above all to redeem us by shedding His precious and innocent blood that makes us clean. He took the death penalty we deserve to set us free and He did it all out of love. 

Out of the ugliness of sin, God produced a triumph. A victory over Satan who’s fate is sealed. Glorified in ascent to the majesty of His throne, He established the foundations for a millenial reign in peace on earth and a just judgment of all as the basis for His eternal kingdom. It is impossible to imagine a more loving gracious glorious or just God than this. Its so beyond our comprehension that it must be true. To have invented such an act would be beyond our imaginations just as the inimitable paradoxical nature of our God is beyond our reasoning.
