He Chose a barn ... not a castle!

Author Gene Edwards writes in his book “The Divine Romance”, of a scene that must’ve been not only mind blowing but mind bending for the angelic beings of heaven: “Gabriel lifted his hand and announced: ‘Universal history is about to know its greatest hour. The Lord God is about to incarnate himself in the womb of woman and come forth in the form of human flesh.” ‘

He describes how the angels looked in amazement as their Lord disappeared from His place to that place to become God in the flesh.  Even further he describes their angelic ignorance when they discovered that he chose for his birth on earth a barn and not a castle.  (The Divine Romance)

I often wonder what that scene really looked like. Imagine if you can how it appeared when the God of all creation stepped out of that portal from the spiritual realm to the physical.  When he set out on a journey as if to find his long lost mate and bring her back to him. That day in the city of David, his journey began on earth. His travels would take him to the most amazing places: the hearts of men and women. It was in those places that it was manifested who he really was and what his mission was to be among them. He became a healer to the hurting, a helper to the helpless, and a restorer of honor to the honor-less. Although those who needed him resided in castles too, his path took him closer to those associated with the “barn type” of existence.

It was in those hearts that he stayed, even after his departure. It is because of those hearts set a blaze by his love that you & I can rejoice that we too were found and redeemed from our lost state.

I wonder how different things would’ve been if he chose a castle instead of a barn! Thank you Jesus!

Oh, and he found his bride, the church!

Now you have the CLUE!
