.A BREATH TAKING MOMENT WITH GOD.

For most  parents it is their most vivid memory, their baby imerges from the womb then there is that short agonizing silence and then a breath and I cry.It tomorrow and I'll relief-that the baby is alive and well. But it's also a moment of terror-when they realized they have brought a new life into the world, with all the excitement and anxiety that it brings.

2000 years ago, in a stable in a small village named Bethlehem another baby took His first breath it was -- a baby who is still worshiped and honoured by millions of people as the Son of God.
Amazingly on that night, God himself became a  living breathing human being, and took His first breath.
It was in more than one seems, on a breathtaking moment. However to understand why the Son of God came into our world and breathed as a human, we need to go back to the very beginning.
The Bible tells us that the son of God existed long before he was born as a baby in Bethlehem.
In the gospel of John CH. 1 starting from verse 1-3
in the beginning was the word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
 Through him all things were made.
That has been made.
This word of God was there at the very beginning of our world. He was and is as the creator, who breathed life into the very first people, Adam and Eve and he continues to and continues to breathe life into us today. In fact not a breath we take would happen without him. This is the word of God or the Son of God, who was born in a stable 2000 years ago and was given the name Jesus. As stated in Johns’ Gospel.                                                                                     
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling with us,
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only, Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth [Ch. 1—14 ]
How did humanity react to the arrival of the Son of God among us? The first chapter of John’s Gospel gives us a hint when it says that the word of God's  11  He   came   to  that which was  his  own, but  his  own did not receive him.  12  Yet  to  all who received him,  to  those who believed in  his  name,  he  gave the right  to  become children of God.
