Christmas & Incarnation

"When God's Son took on flesh, he truly and bodily took on, out of pure grace, our being, our nature, ourselves. This was the eternal counsel of the triune God. Now we are in him. Where he is, there we are too, in the incarnation, on the cross, and in his resurrection. We belong to him because we are in him. That is why the Scriptures call us the Body of Christ."

-- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

In light of this statement, remember that as Paul stated - truly God is the one IN whom we live, move, and have our being.

Merry Christmas! Christ has come to us. Christ will come again.
