We love to be with the ones we love.  So does God.  How else do you explain what He did?  Between Him and us there was a distance, and He could’t bear it.  So He did something about it.

From Philippians 2:6-8:  “Who, though he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, assuming human likeness.  And being found in appearance as a human, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.”

When life is not a bed of roses, remember who wore the crown of thorns.

From John 19:1-6:  “Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged.  And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they dressed Him in a purple robe.  They kept coming up to Him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ and striking Him on the face.  Pilate went out again and said to them, ‘Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no case against Him.’  So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, ‘Behold the man!’  When the chief priests and the police saw Him, they shouted, ‘Crucify Him!  Crucify Him!'”
