Though he was born in a manger in Bethlehem 2000 years ago, Jesus existed in the Godhead before the earth was. He was the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us. He was the exact radiance of God in the flesh and He emptied himself to become like us. Through this miracle He was able experience first hand, the limitations, temptations and sufferings of mankind and go to the Father as our Redeemer, Advocate, Mediator and Savior.
