Pastor Dale continued our advent series on the holy longing, the fiery energy of God that burns inside each of us. This morning we looked at the difference between a “Theist” and an "Incarnate Jesus Follower.” A theist believes in a God in heaven. An “Incarnate Jesus Follower” believes in a God in heaven who is also physically present on this earth inside of human beings. The theist believes God is transcendent and present only as some vague being. The “Incarnate Jesus Follower” believes God is also transcendent and has a physical body on earth that can be seen, heard, felt, tasted, and smelled. What this means for us in our daily lives is that as incarnate followers of Jesus, we have an active role to play in following Jesus. It is partnering with God in prayer and taking action, to bring his presence to those around us. When we do this, when we let Jesus tend the fire within us, when we shape our lives and our bodies in the way Jesus shaped his, we do our part to carry the incarnation forward.
We invite you to spend time with the Father and seek his revelation on one question: Father, how can I carry the incarnation forward this week?
