It’s not every day that God becomes flesh and dwells among humans on earth, moving into our neighborhoods and into our personal lives. The concept alone is enough to unravel the mind because 1) it starts with the belief in a God - a Being higher than ourselves, a being impossible to fully know or understand. That’s uncomfortable.
But what about when that Being comes to earth and dies?
Wouldn’t most God’s choose to reign and good God’s choose to reign and rescue?
Wouldn’t a God be above dying?
But what if this God feared nothing of death because the God was master of it and knew more of its gateway than we ever could?
To God - You lived, walked, breathed, faced humanity, died and showed us what to live for and what not to fear. Would you continue this in our lives?
