Current Series: FLESH: 8 Implications of Christmas
Message: Dignity
Speaker: Kevin
Synopsis: Because of the doctrine of the 'depravity of man', there is a common sentiment in Christian circles that our humanity is something to disdain, to cast off, not worthy of our attention. The thinking goes that if the goal is to "be more like Jesus", then it follows that whatever that is, it's 'otherworldly', 'spiritual' and 'out there,' but not something having to do with our humanity. But Christmas makes us rethink all that. On Christmas, the Holy One inhabits a human body. Somehow, holiness is able to co-exist with fleshly humanity. The implication is that in Jesus Christ, there is dignity in being human. In fact, to be more godly looks like being more human, not less.
