God’s Gift—God the Son
God the Father/Creator fully intends maintaining relationship with people through God the Son. This despite the fact that we misuse his gift of free will and left to ourselves, we prefer to ignore him.

Providentially for us, he planned ahead.

As I write this post, it is October 25, two months before the date we Christian believers choose to celebrate as Christmas, the day God’s gift—God the Son literally entered his damaged Creation to keep the promise made in Genesis 3 and initiate the Trinity’s plan of rescue.

Why did he make that choice?

Think for a bit how, with the creativity God gave us so we could imitate him, we attempt to communicate with one another when we’re apart. Back before telephones, screens, and cameras, people would send drawings or miniature paintings (if they were wealthy), and letters.
On his part, God sent visions and dreams to his prophets, who would attempt to describe them and their meanings to the people. God personally inscribed the first pair of tablets containing the Ten Commandments he wanted to be the foundation of his people’s laws. He worded those clearly, unlike our legalese which so often conceals our legislation’s true intent.
They didn’t listen, comprehend, or cooperate any more than we do. How often do we turn off notifications to ignore email, or text messages, or delay watching video our family members send?
Even if we want communication, software like Skype, or FaceTime is still lacking. We can’t reach through the screen to hug the ones we love.
So God the Son arrived, temporarily limiting himself to the space occupied by a human body. He touched to heal, and pulled sinking Peter onto the water’s surface. He allowed himself to be crucified, thereby satisfying God the Father’s law we would not and could not obey.
God the Father rewarded his Son’s obedience with resurrection and Jesus resumed all the authority he had before Creation.

What’s in it for us?

That will depend entirely on our reaction to the work of God’s Gift—God the Son.
