a Word spoken in due season ..

back when it all began
the Expression was there
with God ..
truly, the Expression was God
   everything created was by the word of the Expression of God ..
and the Expression of God became human
and lived among us   ( John 1 )

how on Earth does that work ..
i mean, there's spiritual dimension in human
but .. human dimension in God ?

`|`

and God said " let's make human creatures ..
let's make them in our image, to be like us "

and the resounding reply
" yes! lets! "

and so the confounding event ..
God bent down and drew in the dirt with a finger
and then piled the dirt into a dirty 3D form
   to image Godself ..
stepped back
eyed it
knelt beside the imaged dirt and breathed out the breath of God ..
and the image drew breath
   the breath of Godself
and the image became
   lived
   moved

that's the storytelling in the beginning ..

`|`

later ..
GodExpression split the image agape
   made another Godimage from the first
and God gave the images to each other
to further image God
   rejoining into oneness
   creating other images in their image
      like them
      like God
..

later ..
God said " let's make ourself human
   in their image
   to be like them "

and the resounding reply
" yes! lets! "

and God Expressed as human ..

   God Expressed flesh

      and lived among us

and we could behold Godglory in the person of GodSon

the glory we would expect of an onlychild

filled full with grace 

and truth

   for the true God is filled full of grace

`|`

God

created human 

in God's image

God 

became human

..

God Expressed as human

baby

vulnerable
exposed

needy

defenseless

reliant 

trusting

   just like us

how does Word Express as

flesh ..

limit

relinquish

unbecome

morph

to become

?

likely we will never know

this we do know ..

that baby grew

   in stature

   in wisdom

immersed in reliance on God

and the life of that One

revealed God to us

in a way we likely would never have understood otherwise
.. we don't speak Godlanguage

God showed Godself

perfectly represented in human form

.. and the world has never been the same

his name is Jesus

Emmanu-El

God among us

with us

for us

in us ..

we are privileged beyond measure to know this One

   to finally know what God is like in Godfullness

for the fullness of God dwelt in him

and that fullness consists in

   grace

   truth

the world will never be the same

neither will i

neither will you

allelu-Jah

" It used to be that God would occasionally communicate in one way or another with our Jewish Fathers through prophets. But God now speaks to us through a Son, the powerful Utterance of God who not only brought the ages into being but also bears them along.
God has appointed him to be heir of everything.
This Son is the effulgence of God, the outshining of God's glory.
He is the perfect expression of God's substance. " ( Hebrews 1 )
..

the GodWhoIsThere
   the unnameable IAmWhoIAm
   the Ineffable (Heschel)
speaks a Word
   Expresses
in the only language in which we could ever understand God
.. Jesus

Son of Human

" a fitting reply brings joy ..
a word at the right time - how good it is " ( Prov 15:23 )

" at just the right time, God sent the Son into the world, born of a woman .. " ( Gal 4:4 )

praise God
