The coolest thing
I’m blatantly stealing this idea from someone else, but this was just too cool to pass up.
From Andrew Sullivan, writing on the meaning of the incarnation:
I don’t think it’s possible for a reasoning Christian to take all the contradictory facts, myths and symbols of the various Christmas narratives as literally true. In fact, one test of how serious a Christian is, to my mind, is whether she does or not.
The point [of the incarnation] was merely to be with us; and by being with us, to show us better how to be human, how better to embrace our lives by accepting the divine around us and inside us. By letting go, we become. By giving up, we gain. And we learn how to live – now, which is the only time that matters.
That, is pretty cool.
