12.26.21 - One Of Us

We reflect further on Jesus' incarnation - God made flesh - through the lens of themes introduced by our "visiting speaker," who told the Christmas story from a shepherd's point of view last Sunday. The chief feature of Jesus' birth is it's humility, but in that we find the assurance that His rescue is available to all people - not just those of certain station or birthright. We also are given the chance to uniquely relate to Him in His humanity, as He relates to us in ours. 

He is the king in disguise, out amongst his people in order to know them, just as Harry (in Henry V) dons a hood to move amongst his men. Jesus' has done more than toss a hood over His head. He is veiled in flesh. Hail the incarnate Deity. Please as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel!
