Incarnation

Posted by BT

I’m sitting at Panera listening to Alli Rogers’ song “Eden.” I recommend it.

I’ve really been dwelling the last couple days on what it means to be incarnational. I was just replying to a great question from my friend Andy, who really got me to thinking about this. Does incarnation mean anything to followers of Jesus? I mean, besides the obvious? I don’t think it has meant much to me…I can say it has meant a lot, but unless it changes the way I live, it just doesn’t really matter. I wonder what it would look like if, instead of short term missions and giving money to overseas missions getting all the attention (not saying those things are bad), we shifted our focus to incarnational mission. I wonder.

My toes are cold.
