Oftentimes, when we imagine God, we imagine a sort of superhero Being far beyond humanity. We imagine One who is "all powerful" and "all knowing."
And yet, at the center of Christian faith is the God of incarnation--a God who is neither of these, but rather a God who is "all-vulnerable." A God who is not "self-sufficient" or "self-reliant," but a "powerless" God who is utterly dependent on others: to be cared for, to be fed, to be held, to be loved--heck, this God even had to learn how to walk and probably needed his boo-boos kissed when he got hurt!
In this message on the first Sunday after Christmas, Pastor Eric invites us to continue reflecting on the incarnation and how dwelling on the utter vulnerability of a God who enters the world in the ways Jesus does might transform not only how we understand God, but how we understand what it means to be human--and therefore how we seek to live and honor our own humanity.
