Jesus chose to become man to show us that he doesn’t just want to save us, but that he loves us. And he knew that in the incarnation and the crucifixion, there would be no greater way to show us that he loves us, than to become man and then go to the cross and die for us. “For greater love hath no one than this, that he lay down his life for someone else / for his friends” (see John 15:13). So God wanted to show us that he loves us, and he does that through the incarnation and the cross. Jesus also becomes one of us to teach us how to love him back! How to be holy and to give ourselves totally to God.
Congratulations to our newly ordained deacon Tom Lehner! Tom Lehner is a lifelong member of Holy Ghost Church.
