The Great Collision

On the way to church this morning I was listening to David Crowder's A Collision on the ol' iPod. Specifically I was listening to the song A Beautiful Collision when something hit me. Ok, ok, some of you are probably thinking I need to get hit a little more often. Yeah, yeah, I'lll give you that, but there's something more.

The song speaks of the beautiful collision that takes place when our lives collide with this incredible God! That, is indeed, a beautiful collision. This morning was different. This morning it hit me - what a beautiful collision it was when God collided with humanity!!

Think about it! Was that not the most beautiful collision of all? God, in his divinity, power and grace collided with his greatest creation and gave us a child. A child who was to grow up - 100% divine and 100% human - to become the Savior of the world. . .of history. . .of you and me.

Ever wonder what would have happened if this beautiful collision never occurred? Don't know if I want to think about - to be honest - but I am very thankful for it.

Today, don't forget to thank God for such a beautiful collision.
