Read : Luke 2:1-14
You shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man. - John 1:51
Christmas cards often show an idyllic manger scene with halos of light surrounding the faces of Mary, Joseph and the Christ-child. Jesus' birth, however, tool place in a crude and unusual setting. Yet that lowly scene encompassed the wonder of the incarnation-the infinite God of the universe came from the heights of heaven to the depths of earth.
Referring to the words of Christ in John 1:51, Andrew Murray captured the dramatic contrast in this amazing event. He wrote: "The nature of our Lord Jesus is infinite in its extent. On one hand it touches the height of Godhead, on the other the depth of manhood. To use his own comparison (Jn.1:51), it resembles the mystic ladder, which in the dream of the wanderer (Jacob), lined the far distant depths of sky-where, more brilliant than sun or moon, the light of the Shekinah shone-with the moorland, strewn with huge boulders of stone, on which he lay. At one end is the title, Son of God; at the other, Son of Man."
Jesus, the Son of God in all His deity, became the Son of Man in full humanity. Yet He did not sin. His death guarantees forgiveness and eternal life if we trust Him as our Savior. Because God descended fro heaven to earth in Christ, we can ascend from earth to heaven through Christ. - Dave Egner
The Son Of God Became The Son Of Man That He Might Change The Sons Of Men Into Sons Of God.

What condescension, bringing us redemption,
That in the dead of night, not one faint hope in sight,
God, gracious, tender, laid aside His splendor,
Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.- Booth-Clibborn
