Incarnation (189)
  1. Jesus came to save you from your sins and this is Good News of Great Joy for all people, including you and me.
  2. "Joseph, being a just man, was unwilling to put her to shame." The young woman Mary turns up pregnant before the wedding, and what is a fiancé to do?
  3. If we want a true depiction of the Christmas story, we ought to consider the scandal of the coming of Jesus.
  4. The absolute best part of Christmas is that it is not flat at all, but in fact, it is very tall.
  5. At the center of this gospel reading is a conversation. It was of the memorable variety. It involved a peasant girl from a small town and a mighty messenger from God.
  6. We do not believe that the virgin mother bore a son and that he is the Lord and Savior unless I believe the second thing, that he is my Savior and Lord.
  7. We stand before God with a unique set of problems, diseases, and sins. The comforting truth of the Incarnation is that Jesus took my flesh. All of it.
  8. On this episode, Dr. Paulson talks about how God acts and breaks into history.
  9. God created humanity in his image and then inhabited that image. Not just for 33 years, but for eternity thereafter.
  10. The kingdom I seek is the lower-case realm ruled over by the almighty upper-case Me.
  11. In the middle of the spring, on a run-of-the-mill Thursday, the ascension interrupts the mundane to herald the extraordinary: Christ is in charge and is present on earth as he is in heaven, guiding history for the sake of his church.
  12. When Christians die, heaven does not “get another angel.” We cannot become angels any more than we can become giraffes or ocean waves or stars. We are people and will remain so after this present life. God did not make a mistake when he made us human.
