Why did God become man?
Sometimes it's hard for us to realize why the limitless God, God is transcendent, eternal, almighty powerful and has become one of us? Why is born as a tiny infant, and when grown for three years taught us about God's Kingdom, then gave his life for us? Perhaps this tale, which has already been quoted here a few years ago, will help us understand this amazing fact. I'm not the author of this story, I have heard it somewhere years ago in Christian radio, but I think it is worth mentioning here:
the frosty, winter's night a father was home alone when his wife and children went to midnight mass. He was a good man, but considered himself an intellectual, and seemed completely illogical that God could become man. He did not understand the concept and rejected the possibility that such a God can exist.
weather was getting worse, the wind intensified and sustained storm. Suddenly, from nowhere, came a cluster attracted bird house light in the window began to fall into the glass, looking for salvation from frost and snowstorm. They had come from afar, weakened the lack of food, because some of them fell dead in the snow under the window and the sill. Feel sorry for him they did, so he decided to save them.
The family lived in the country, had his farm and the barn was a lot of space, many grains and seeds and there was heating. My father got dressed, then, went outside, opened the door to the barn and began to beat up the birds. However, they did not understand it. Frightened, ran away and died, trying to seek refuge in the window is closed.
"If only I could become one of them" - he thought. "I could then talk to them intelligible language, to show them the way to salvation. Would go behind me and have found salvation. " As soon as it is said, had a revelation. He fell to his knees in the snow and began to pray to the God in whom before time he could not believe it. Suddenly I understood why God became man. He quickly dressed and went to church and his family joined together to greet the new born of God, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
