Feb 2,The presentation of the Lord in the temple.
Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God... Hebrews 2:17
The author of the letter to the Hebrews points out that Jesus came down to be one of us so that he might experience what we experience, and understand human nature. This is the kind of God we have - the one who wants to fully enter into his own creation and know what it means to be human. Jesus did this so that he might present us to God himself, knowing us from the inside out and loving us anyway. God above all gods, one who loves and is not afraid to enter into the mess and mire that is our life on earth. May the name of Jesus Christ be praised, now and forever.
