Another reflection on incarnation . . .

. . . this time by Robert MacColl Adams, instead of me. A view from 10,000 feet to balance my from-the-ground view I shared yesterday . . .

"So here we are again, a few billion miles farther along our mysterious path among the immensities. What a comfort it is to know the Man in charge of it all. Without Him, it would be easy to think that the whole of time and space, and life itself, are without reason, purpose or meaning - as H.G. Wells said, that it is 'a bad joke beyond our understanding, a flare of vulgarity, an empty laugh braying across the mysteries.' With Jesus forever between God and us, we can understand a few things, and trust Him for the rest. After all, He is one of us: a baby once, as we all were; then, and forever after, a Man, as we all shall always be."

Faithfully,
Janet+
