Christmas.
Christmas is mind-blowing!
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory… (gospel of John 1:14)
The Divine…reality behind reality became flesh and dwelt among us. Flesh gets Tired and is Emotional. Flesh is Hurtable, Bleedable, Killable.
We have seen his glory. This divine glory is approachable, safe, relatable, and embraceable! This glory came as a baby.
Christmas is wild!
“…the hurricane has become human, that fire has become flesh, that life itself became life and walked in our midst? Christianity either means that, or it means nothing. It is either the most devastating disclosure of the deepest reality of the world or it is a sham, a nonsense, a bit of deceitful playacting.” (historian, NT Wright)
Happy Christmas.
