When God chose to reveal himself to mankind, what did He use? A book? A church? A moral code? No. To limit God’s revelation to a cold list of do’s and don’t’s is as tragic as looking at a Colorado roadmap and saying you’d seen the Rockies!
When God chose to reveal himself, he did so through a human body. The hand that touched the leper had dirt under its nails. And his tears—oh, don’t miss the tears—they came from a heart as broken as your or mine ever has been. People came to him. Touched him. Followed him. He refused to be a statue in a cathedral or a priest in an elevated pulpit. He chose instead to be Jesus.
Remember that the next time you find yourself amazed at your own failures. It’s man who creates the distance. It’s Jesus who builds the bridge!
