Lest one claims that Christ is God-become-Godman 'cause just "look at Philippians 2", please understand that the humiliation in view is of a sinless king becoming sin and a criminal at the cross, not of a preexisting spirit becoming man. God's wisdom and word of life manifest in our savior, his beloved servant and Son.
God wanted to bring salvation, light, love, and life to man, not only to generously gift us but also to reveal who he is, so that we may know and love him as our benevolent creator and father. He's our indescribable breath-giver, hope source, and eternal kingdom provider. Because Jesus was the father's self revelation made flesh, in that God provided that salvation, light, love, and life through him unto us, Jesus was and will be again "God with us", just not in the precise respect a trinitarian presumes. Not as the eternal creator God, but rather as an incarnation and corporeal revelation of that One's love and promise. God's truth and beauty shone through Jesus inimitably and copiously. This was God's intention from the beginning and it has been realized and presented to the fallen world as a magnificent anchor of hope and beacon of joyous light. What a Father, and what a Son! They're both stunning and worship-worthy. Glorious, merciful and praise-worthy!
