The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,
who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 NIV
**********
“So God throws open the door of this world —
and enters as a baby.
As the most vulnerable imaginable.
Because He wants unimaginable intimacy with you.
What religion ever had a god that wanted such intimacy with us
that He came with such vulnerability to us?
What God ever came so tender we could touch Him?
So fragile that we could break Him?
So vulnerable that His bare, beating heart could be hurt?
Only the One who loves you to death.”
