As a child of Mary, He was born on earth to live with us. As the Son of God, He was given from heaven to die for us. The One who is eternal and outside of time would allow Himself to be born into time. Bethlehem was where Jesus was born, but that's not where He began. Why? Because He had not beginning. God's Christmas gift was a Person of deity wrapped in the package of humanity.
This is what theologians call the 'Incarnation'. 'Incarnation' is a Latin word that literally means 'in flesh'. 'In'=in and 'carne'=flesh. Incarnation means God in flesh. God became man. ...
