He will save us by being one of us. I deeply believe that to be a Christian is to practice a spiritually disciplined way of seeing reality. The very heart and soul of the Christian life is to discipline ourselves to see reality through spiritual eyes, through the eyes of incarnation. And it takes practice. And it takes faith.
Incarnation is a way of seeing what is really real.
To see our children and believe in the divine laughter we hear in their voices, to believe that God feels every tiny skinned knee with them. To see God in our family and friends, to see God even in our enemies, that's takes discipline, a disciplined way of looking at the real world, a disciplined way of looking at the very ordinary reality of the world and seeing God in it, seeing what's really real. For when God became incarnate in that little baby Jesus it didn't end there. In that moment, God became incarnate in all fleshly reality through Jesus. Jesus is, after all, called the first fruits of the tree, there is more fruit to follow.
