"'I'll be back soon,' a World War II soldier told his wife before leaving her and their infant son. Five years of war and fighting went by. The young mother would show her boy a portrait of the soldier and say, 'See, that's your daddy. One day he's going to come home.' In reality, she didn't know what to expect.

"One morning the boy said, 'Mommy, wouldn't it be great if Daddy would just step out of the picture frame?'

"In a sense that's what God did 2,000 years ago. As part of His eternal plan, He stepped out of heaven and became a man so you and I could look at Jesus and say, 'That's what God looks like.'"
