The incarnation is a seminal moment in history that marks an extraordinary event of God becoming man in order to be with us. With deep desire for relationship with humanity, Jesus came to this earth not as a conquering king, but as a baby in order to experience and feel what we go through so that he can relate to us. The incarnation transforms our view of God, suffering, his kingdom, and relationship with God while setting the stage for the greatest act of love in history. Jesus came as Emmanuel so that by being with us we could learn the transcendence and immanence of God.
