Jesus Pooped

I've been thinking a lot about the incarnation of Jesus.  This is such an amazing miracle that Jesus would choose to become like us.

Jesus humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross.  That is amazing, but let's not forget that Jesus humbled Himself to be like us.  When Jesus was a baby, He was helpless.  When Jesus was learning carpentry from Joseph, He probably hit His hand with the hammer.  When Jesus walked, He got blisters.   When Jesus needed to go, He pooped.  Jesus became like us.

Remember, that Jesus was forever.  He was there at creation.  He is God, yet He chose humility.

When Jesus became one of us it was like a parent getting on His child's level to scoop up the child and say, "I love you."  Jesus bent over to our level and said, "I love you," unlike anyone ever.  And when we die He scoops us up and carries us in His arms back inside His house.

Think about the beautiful incarnation of our Lord today.
