As a boy I kept fish, I would sit for hours staring at my fish tank and dreaming of new ways to decorate and enhance the scenery. Cleaning it was a chore though, I had to be so careful, and my fish would go mad, franticly trying to swim clear of my net, even if it meant jumping out of the tank. My actions were incomprehensible to them, and the only way I could ever have some hope of calming the situation would be to actually become a fish and explain my actions to them in a language they could understand.
That’s exactly what God did for us; Jesus is the ultimate revelation mankind has received from God. He loves us so much He became one of us, so that we could understand Him.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3: 16-17 NIV
