While we accept it willingly, one of the more difficult concepts for the Disciples to wrap their brain around in this idea of “The Incarnation” of Jesus, was that Jesus was actually God...in the flesh. They saw the “flesh guy”. They saw the human being, the Rabbi, the Friend, the Mentor. But they had trouble seeing that He was literally God. Not so for us! We see all that He did and the fact that He raised Himself from the dead and we KNOW without a doubt that He is God. But we need the reminder nonetheless. You see, He’s not just “Sunday School Jesus” to be taken off the shelf once a week for an hour...but as God, He is our Lord...He is our Master. Today we remember that when Jesus came to us, He was “With Us as God” then and He remains so now and that truth has implications for our lives every day!
