God in the flesh

Morning: Psalms 5, 6; Job 6:1-4, 8-15, 21; Acts 9:32-43

Last night, someone wondered why it’s difficult to spark people’s interest in being Jesus’s disciples.  According to John, many stop following Jesus because he stirs up such controversy … people always find Jesus challenging. What people balk at in every age is the belief that, in Jesus, the actual Word of God takes flesh in a human life.  You can spiritualize this, but that just makes Jesus a good man and strips him of his awesome importance for humanity.  He is much more, John is saying, so shockingly and tantalizingly all at once … Jesus is God in the flesh.
