Duminicā 22 Dec. Istoria Rāscumpārārii.
Sunday 22 Dec. God's grand redemptive story.
In the first 17 verses of Matthew 1, we meet 46 people whose lifetimes span 2,000 years.
Some had shady reputations, like the four grandmothers of Jesus: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba, four broken woman with plenty of mess in their lives.
There is no shortage in The Bible of drama, triumph, tragedy and scandal - God's grand redemptive story.
Human characters acted out their lives of small triumph and large tragedy onstage, while periodically calling to an unseen Stage Manager, "You don't know what it's like out here!"
Job was most brazen, flinging to God this accusation: - "Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees?" (Book of Job 10:4 in Bible).
Of the many resons for Incarnation, surely one was to answer Job's accusation: - "Do you have eyes of flesh"?
For a time, God did! (Philip Yancey).
