“The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God”
— C. S. Lewis
Simplified Meaning:
The quote means that Jesus came to Earth as a human so that people could have a special relationship with God. Think of it this way: imagine you are lost and a friend comes to find you. They help you and guide you back home. In this case, Jesus is the friend who comes to find people and bring them closer to God. In history, a good example is how a king might dress as a common person to understand his people's needs better and to help them more effectively. By doing this, he can teach and lead by example. This is similar to how Jesus, though divine, became human to show people how to live and how to connect with God. For someone today, this can mean trying to live a life of kindness and following good examples set by leaders, just as Jesus’s life is seen as a guide. It encourages people to be more loving, patient, and forgiving, and in doing so, they build a closer relationship with God. It’s about making an effort to be good and finding that, through this effort, they grow spiritually.
