"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14 

The baby Jesus came to be the voice of God, the "logos", revealing the knowledge and wisdom of God. Heaven came down to speak the mind of God.

The baby Jesus also came to be a vision of God. 

No one has seen God, nor could they see Him. 

He is a Spirit and human eyes are blind to the spirit world. 

More over, His holiness and majesty would mean instant death to any mortal who dared to look upon Him.

Those who saw Him in visions, such as Isaiah and John, were at a loss for words trying to describe what they saw.

So, what a better way to reveal Himself than to don flesh and come as a human being?

Heaven came down at Christmas in the person of the baby Jesus so people can lay eyes on the glory of God!

What is the glory of God?

The glory of God is everything He is in His Being, His Essence and His Nature - everything He is that we aren't!

Jesus was as much of God's glory as He could pack into human flesh. When people looked at Jesus they got a glimpse of the glory of God.

Think about all that Jesus was and yet He was just a limited glance of God's glory!

Wow!
