I connected to MSN to have a voice chat with my parents. As is typical of our voice chats, my sister came online with her MSN account, and to go along with the season, she put a Christmas greeting on her MSN display name. However, she made a typo by putting “Merry Christman” instead of “Merry Christmas”. I was going to tell her that she spelled the word “Christmas” wrongly, but I stopped in track. At that very moment, I got a revelation, even out of a typo. Lol.

Christman.

Christmas is the occasion that we remember when Christ, our Saviour, became man. It was when He became not only fully God, but fully God, fully man. He came and experienced everything a man can ever experience, tasted human emotions, went through human temptations, yet emerged perfect, without sin.

With all that, He was ready to represent us as our great High Priest before God forevermore, and when the time came, He offer Himself to God as the sin offering, the one offering that avails for all mankind.

Today, Jesus is fully God, with the power to move the heavens and the earth, the power to calm the raging seas and to heal the sick, and fully man, with a passionate and tender love for you, understanding fully what you are going through. (Yes, He understands why you are mulling in disappointment over that exam result of yours too!)

And with His intense, unfailing love for you, beloved child of God, His power will move to work things out for your good.

So we celebrate His becoming one of us - when He became man. So awesome and wonderful in deeds and mighty are His works, yet so humble, coming all the way to where we are, to dwell among us, with us, as the song said: “Please as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Immanuel”.

Meekness and majesty, manhood and deity, the God-man Jesus Christ.

That’s my Jesus. =)

So, Merry Christman and Merry Christmas! =)
