Imagine the scene in the second chapter of the gospel of Mark. Jesus is apparently in his current home preaching to a packed house. No one could get in because even the doorway was blocked. And as he is preaching, debris from the roof right over his head begins to drift down on him and …
God planned just the right time in His-story for his Son to put on flesh and enter into space and time. And throughout His-story, leading up to that time, there were people who looked ahead and believed God would enter into the world (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, to name a few (Hebrews chapter 11), and …
God created humanity in His image. As a unified, whole people. Sin disrupted this. So since then, we are all longing for that unity. To be understood and to understand.
