I

The incarnation of God has sent shockwaves

through all religions and spheres,

it has “thrown into disarray”

the original order of religious circles,

and it has shaken the hearts of all of those

who yearn for the appearance of God.

Who is not adoring? Who does not long to see God?

God has personally been among man for many years,

yet man has never realized it.

Today, God Himself has appeared,

and shown forth His identity to the masses—

how could this not bring delight to man’s heart?

God once shared joys and sorrows with man,

and today He has been reunited with mankind,

and shares tales of times gone by with him,

shares tales of times gone by with him.

II

After God left Judea,

people could find no trace of Him.

They yearn to once more meet with God,

little knowing that today they have again met with Him

and have been reunited with Him.

How could this not stir thoughts of yesterday?

Two thousand years ago today,

Simon Barjona, the descendant of the Jews, beheld Jesus the Savior,

ate at the same table as Him,

and after following Him for many years

felt a deeper affection for Him:

He loved Him from the bottom of his heart;

he loved the Lord Jesus profoundly.

God has personally been among man for many years,

yet man has never realized it.

Today, God Himself has appeared,

and shown forth His identity to the masses—

how could this not bring delight to man’s heart?

God once shared joys and sorrows with man,

and today He has been reunited with mankind,

and shares tales of times gone by with him,

shares tales of times gone by with him.
