"God With Us”

“In the person of Christ, God ‘dropped in’ on his rebel creatures. He came into our living rooms, our wedding receptions, our places of business. He ate with us, drank with us, laughed with us, and cried with us. The apostles testified not to having experienced a man who walked with God or who somehow became divine; nor to a god who looked and acted like a human being, but to the man who was God and the God who was man. They did not testify to their own subjective religious experiences, but to that ‘which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched.’ (1 John 1:1)
