God starts out where we start out: a child is born. He submerges himself in our biology, our psychology, our history. He becomes one of us so we can become what he is. He doesn’t terrorize us with doomsday signs. He doesn’t crush us with superior knowledge. He doesn’t tease us with mysterious clues. He is here with us, in Jesus. God’s way of revealing himself to us and giving himself to us is Jesus.
