Not a spiritual idea but God in the flesh

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

Evening: Psalms 10, 11; John 6:60-71

One important debate in recent Christianity has been whether the Gospels describe real, historical events or whether they are mostly just metaphorical descriptions of ‘spiritual truths’. The first-century followers of Jesus had similar disagreements. Many stopped following Jesus ... they chose not to risk their well-being and their futures by being associated with the astounding and blasphemous idea that the Word of God had appeared in human flesh. Those who stayed with Jesus believed he was much more than just a ‘spiritual leader’ ... For them, Jesus was the living God in the flesh. That makes a world of difference.
