God in Christ Jesus comes to us in the physical world of our everyday lives;
God comes to us in the person of others in the human fabric of life.
When the time comes, we will need to be ready;
for the God we believe in is not a god who dwells in our heads, or of our minds, or who inhabits words alone...
Matthew 24:36-44

He reminds us that God is of the living and for the living.

"This is not a story about humility, suggesting a new kind of holiness code. It is instead a rejection of holiness codes in their entirety, and a proposal of grace."
