Kindred in Christ,

One of the things I love about Scott Erickson’s art piece, With Us, is that it invites us to reflect upon the vulnerability of the pregnancy and birthing process in relation to the coming of Christ.

What does it say about a God…

who is willing to be this vulnerable with us?

who is willing to come into this world though the statistical risk of childbearing?

who is willing to be attached by a placenta for nourishment and life from their own creation?

who is willing to wait and grow in the human womb?

who is willing to be fearfully and wonderfully made, just like us?

Join us on Christmas Eve and this Sunday, as we continue to reflect upon the power of God’s vulnerable love with us.
