How better to be human
An amazing quote from Andrew Sullivan:
“The point of this incarnation of God taking on flesh and blood was not surely to construct a catalog of offenses by which we are to judge our own lives at any moment, to force us to thrash and thrive in a constant ordeal of self-criticism and guilt. The point of God taking on flesh and blood – the point of Christ – is not so we have a new list of ways to feel bad about ourselves.
The point was merely to be with us.
And by being with us, to show us better how to be human, how better to embrace our lives, by accepting the divine around us and inside of us.
How better to be human.”
Agree? Disagree?
