Hebrews 2

Jesus became human for a time and allowed Himself to be tempted, then sacrificed His life for our sins. By becoming human like us, He was able to experience all the trials that we go through. By overcoming them, He gave us a standard for how we are to live our own lives.

Some people see God as distant and impersonal. The Incarnation of Jesus completely contradicts that assertion. Jesus left His throne in heaven and became human because He wanted to relate to us. Like when a parent kneels or crouches down to talk to a child, God came down to our level to talk to us and show us how we are to live.
