The Son of God, the second Person of the Godhead, the One of whom the Bible says, "Through Him all things were made" (John 1:3) - comes to our planet in a helpless little package that basically can do nothing for Himself. Omnipotence becomes helplessness to rescue a world full of dying people.

God had someone waiting for them there - an old man named Simeon who had been told by the Holy Spirit that he would not die until he had seen the One he called "the Lord's Christ." He actually held the baby in his arms and praised God for sending Him. http://watkins.gospelcom.net/indexc.htm 2008-01-02T13:30:30-05:00 Humorous columns, top ten lists and essays on Christmas https://shop6.gospelcom.net/epages/GospelDirect.storefront/en/Product/DVD566 2007-12-27T09:31:33-05:00 Based on Henry vanDyke's classic, this fictional story is told in gently comic terms.
