It Does not Make Sense!

I don't get it. How God, the creator of the universe... could love you and I so much that He would take on human form (in the embodiment of Jesus Christ, born of a virgin)and become like us, in order to live a sinless life, die for our sin and rise again from the dead. I dont get it. I do not understand the whole God/Man thing. It is beyond me. Theology is man's attempt to figure it all out. But we really haven't. I do not understand the baby Jesus, wrapped in birthing clothes and laying in a sheep stall. I do not get the angles, and the sheperds and the wise men travelling for over two years, leaving their families to find a king. I cannot fathom a political leader that would kill every male child in his kingdom under two years old because he was afraid of this baby. Can't figure it.
But what I can figure and know is this....That this king, met me one day in a car with a beer in my hand and touched my life and made me a new man. This son of God did something that Buddhissm, hinduism, islam could not do. Make me new, raise me from the dead, and place a high purpose in my life. I have a wonderful family and awesome kids who are not on drugs, booze or missing. All because of this man. I ask you to look into the Christmas story, go beyond the logic, and recieve the God I have come to know. Merry Christmas. Jory Hire
