“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them task and work, but rather teach them long for the endless immensity of the sea” -Antoine De Saint-Exupery
The Incarnation turned out to be not a means of getting in touch with us … . It was not a matter of telling man, but of being man. [Christ] did not come primarily to correct history, but to inhabit history … . The Incarnation was not an experiment in divine slumming; God did not come as some potentate to address his inferiors; He did not come … with the right contacts and the right advice; He did not come to patronize us … . Our Lord came to be, and to be in the form of a man—to be man, and to endure whatever might have to be endured by Eternal God when being man.
