What if God is like water and human beings are like oil. They can be right next to each other, but cannot interact because they are so fundamentally different.
On a chemical level, oil and water don't mix because of the chemical properties of each - when you mix the two, the water molecules only attract other water molecules and "push away" oil molecules.
So if God is like water, and mankind is like oil, what if Jesus is like DETERGENT?
Detergent molecules have one end that is like water, and one end that is like oil. In short, detergent makes it possible for oil to dissolve in water, because it BRIDGES the two natures.
What if God is holy (water-like) and cannot interact with us because the sin of mankind made us different (oil-like).
When you add Jesus, because he is human like man and is holy like God, he can be a BRIDGE for us. Like detergent allows hot water to clean grease from a pot, Jesus allows God to clean sin from man.
