Coming to Earth as a Human

"The Eternal Being, who knows everything and who created the whole universe, became not only a man but (before that) a baby, and before that a fetus inside a woman's body.  If you want to get the hang of it, think how you would like to become a slug or a crab." - C.S. Lewis

I have always loved C.S. Lewis.  He has such a wonderful way of explaining great theology.  I often forget how big of a "step down" it was for God to become a human.  How humbling that was.  How special He thought humans are to become one of us for 33 years.  Yet for us, because He loved us, He did it.
