Max Lucado compares our relationship with Christ with a gift Billy Joel gave his daughter.

On her 12th birthday she was in New York City, and the pop musician was in Los Angeles. He phoned her that morning, apologizing for his absence, but told her to expect the delivery of a large package before the end of the day. The daughter answered the doorbell that evening to find a seven-foot-tall, brightly wrapped box. She tore it open, and out stepped her father, fresh off the plane from the West Coast. Can you imagine her surprise?

Perhaps you can. Your gift came in the flesh too.
