“And the Word became flesh”
No other phrase is so transgressive or remarkable in the English language than this. Because the Word, which was with God and was God is now also here, literally personified.
The thing about Luke's nativity story is that sounds a lot like labor organizing.
This is the deal God has the angel bring to Joseph. Not that he knew that. Not that he could even imagine such a responsibility.
He was simply invited to try something new. To not be afraid. And to just…jump.
Jesus, on the other hand, widens the vision of salvation, liberation, and hope in the transformational love of God. And, in so doing, widening our expectations beyond a military victory and nationalistic zealotry.
