Dec 2, 2019: God Comes In Human Skin

Robert E. Webber

God chooses to restore humanity not by a decree of reconciliation, not by a sentimental forgiveness, not by a soft love, but by entering into union with humanity. In Jesus, God comes in human skin to reverse the human condition and reconcile humanity to the Father. . . . In his humanity as Jesus, God took into himself the rebellion of the first Adam and the consequence of his sin, which was death for us all.


-Robert Webber, Who Gets to Narrate the World? Contending for the Christian Story in an Age of Rivals (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 2008), 32-33.
