The humility of Jesus is all through out His life, though He is infant, He is truly divine and truly human. Every Jew on the 8th day after birth should be circumcised, now what circumcision means is cleansing, purification.
When this brought forth into this perspective I swear I cried a ton, you see, Jesus who is God, no need of cleansing and purification submits His infant self for it. Can you comprehend it? For some they will question why would He allow that etc, but for me, that's how He stooped for me and you, to allow Himself to be purified though He is the purer among pure, and to feel the pain in His infancy.
I want you at this moment to place yourselves in that moment: the infant Jesus cries as He feels the pain from the cut and the Blessed Virgin seeing Her Son and Her God crying, waiting for Her to comfort Him, placing in Her bosom and trying to ease the pain with a lullaby.
Did you imagine that? How did you feel about it? It's wonderful isn't it? My heart is overwhelmingly happy and touched at the scene. That's how Jesus made Himself vulnerable for us. He is God, who is not in need of us, but He knows that we need Him so much that He offered Himself for us, He is pure love!
Can you comprehend His goodness?? Because I just cant, but knowing how loved I am, makes me bend on my knees and praise Him all the more and wanting to drown in His love, in there I have peace, joy and HIS Presence of love that overwhelming love that I cannot comprehend that is so beyond me and yet, its like an ecstasy that i want to keep coming for more, and though its huge and my intellect cannot understand, though its so full I am not satiated but wanting for more, its not that its not enough, no, no, its so full but its so rich, ugh there's no word for it, but its so good that I just want to be lost in it.
Now, how can you not love a God like that? That's who my God is, that's how He revealed Himself to me, and that is the God that I know and I love deeply.
If it brought you good fruit, please share as it may potentially (hopefully) bring good fruit to some. If not please kindly send me an email correcting my fault, please let us walk hand in hand in this narrow road ahead of us.
May Christ the King, my King, reign in everyone's hearts!
