When we behold and believe the fullness of the Word made flesh we come to find a way of living as his followers in this world. For in it we find the power to emulate the sympathetic and compassionate nature of God who drew near to social outcasts and sinners. Who came not simply declaring the good news of the kingdom but displaying it through his compassion and care for the needs of others.
What this means is that the embodied nature of Christ as the incarnate word of God communicates to us the wide scope of God’s mission in the world. God became a material being in part to show us that he cares about our material existence. Jesus became a human body to suffer with us to model for us the way of his kingdom in suffering with others.
