About this sermon
The paradox of incarnation: the frailty and fragility of an infant carries within its feebleness divine transcendence; a baby mangers the might and majesty of the very being of God. Or what poet John Donne called “immensity, cloistered in thy dear womb.” Lectionary Passages for the Second Sunday of Advent 5 December 2021 Malachi 3:1-4 Philippians 1:3-11 Luke 3:1-6 British comedian/theater critic/sage Jonathan Miller (1934-2019) said this about Advent: “Although I am not a Christian, the idea of a God that incarnated itself into its own creation, in order to suffer the experience of being its own creation, is a fantastically productive metaphor.” It's more than a metaphor. It's the supreme and sublime mystery of faith. We would love for you to hit the "subscribe" button for these vlogs.
