22. The Sacred Birth and Modesty
In English, the word “Understand” is a compound word, “under” and “stand”. If you want to understand others heartily, you have to be in their shoes. In order to understand, love and save us, Jesus came to earth, even giving up his heavenly glory and was born as a son of poor carpenter in a manger. Later, he even washed his disciples with his holy hands. At Christmas, we need to carve this spirit in our hearts. It is nice and appropriate to belittle us and we tend to have no power. His death is like a four-star general who threw away his badge, spent his time as a PFC, and went back to his old position. Like the general, Jesus made himself low and died for us.
