If God has come in the flesh, and if God keeps coming to…
““If God has come in the flesh, and if God keeps coming to us in our fleshly existence, then all of life is shot through with meaning. Earth is crammed with heaven, and heaven (when we finally get there) will be crammed with earth. Nothing wasted. Nothing lost. Nothing secular. Nothing absurd… All are grist for the mill of a downto-earth spirituality.””
