God gets particular
The incarnation doesn't only mean that God is with us. It means that God is with us as Jesus.
This sweet baby Jesus in his golden-fleece diapers is God. In the flesh.
That was the basic gist of my Christmas Eve sermon, as it was, I’m sure, for most of my clergy colleagues.
Christmas Eve isn’t the time for cute or clever surprises. Or at least I thought so. Apparently we had some visitors who had never heard that before, never heard of what the church calls the incarnation.
