To be clear, John is claiming that the maker of heaven and earth spent thirty years in the backwoods of Galilee, living as a Jewish peasant; that the one and only God entered the womb of a woman and was born from her; that the omniscient Lord of the universe suckled at his mother’s breast, ate and slept and shat as a helpless infant while the universe simply proceeded without him; that the creator of men was reared by men and then, at the end of his life on earth, was murdered by men.
