The Incarnation is a ‘riches to rags’ story. Throughout all eternity, all the wealth of creation had been at His fingertips. Now He is born into a family so poor, that when He is born they cannot afford a lamb to sacrifice for their firstborn child as the law said to do. God, who knew nothing but perfection, takes on human suffering. For you, the Word became flesh. 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV) says, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”
