I was reading Luke 3 and got to one of those boring genealogies at verse 23. I usually skip over them or just skim through them, but this time I tried something new. I read through it once and prayed, then another time, then again, and again... I just couldn't get enough of it! It was so powerful! The reality of Jesus' humanity hit me like a ton of bricks. Jesus is a HUMAN! He became a child of Adam just like you and me. He took on flesh and mingled with the very creation that was made through Him. How humbling is that! Luke 3:38 really shook me- "... the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of GOD." Jesus is the Son of Man (Adam) and He is the Son of GOD. I am a daughter of Adam because I am human, but God the Father has given me to Jesus (John 17:24). WOW! I am now not only a daughter of Adam, but a daughter of the MOST HIGH GOD!

The Scriptures truly are alive. Even the most boring list of names that I can't pronounce opens up a new corridor of revelation of the awesome depth of God's love for me.
