I just thought I would share this. It is part of a book I am reading
He sent his own Son into the dark.
As a Christian I believe we live in parallel worlds. One world consists of hills and lakes and barns and politicians and shepherds watching their flocks by night. The other consists of angels and sinister forces and somewhere out there places called heaven and hell.
One night in the cold, in the dark, among the wrinkled hills of Bethlehem, those two worlds came together at a dramatic point of intersection. God, who knows no before or after, entered time and space. God, who knows no boundaries, took on the shocking confines of a baby's skin, the ominous restraints of mortality. - Philip Yancey,
The Jesus I Never Knew, pp.44-45.
The Father-God risked it all, no holds barred.
On earth a baby was born, a king got wind of it, a chase ensued.
In heaven the Great Invasion had begun, a daring raid by the ruler of the forces of good into the universe's seat of evil. – Philip Yancey,
The Jesus I Never Knew, p.43.
Head on, into the dark. This really painted a picture in my head. I could see "photos" of every image in my head. Inspires me to work on my writing more
