Day 353 - what if He hadn't come?

Day 353.
So, what if Jesus hadn't come.
It's maybe my Christmas theme for 2011 .....got a year to craft 4 preaches out of that title.

We would still have had the Son of God. Eternally was and is.
But we would not have had the Son of Man.

Here's 3 to mull over that I'm thinking about:
No Son of Man - no new humanity.
No Son of Man - no High Priest who empathizes with us.
No Son of Man - no substitutionary atonement.

We'd be up the creek without a paddle.

But, these three are the obvious .....334 days to figure out some more and make a Christmas series our of it.

Suggestions welcome.
