Incarnation
The mystery of Christ, that He sunk Himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding.
Martin Luther
I was pondering the realities of the incarnation tonight in The War Room (a place our community prays non-stop).
I realized how easy it is to miss the simplicity of the message of Christ's birth.... Immanuel - God WITH us.
Why does it seem like gravity pulls us to worship Him from afar... when the whole point is He CAME NEAR... let's really draw near to Him this Christmas. I want the Incarnation to matter... not just in theory - but in life. What difference would it make in my life - who can even imagine. hmm.
He became what we are that he might make us what he is.
Athanasius
