The dependent God
It’s easy to carry a narrative that God wants us to be independent and self-sustained beings.
But I just don’t see that in the story...
I see a God who crafts humanity out of the dirt, breathing life into our lungs. Even when the nightmare of Sin and separation befell us and distracted us from the goodness that God made us in, God did not leave us in that state to fend for ourselves.
Our Creator drew near.
In Jesus, God entered into the form of a newborn child.
The same God
who spoke the cosmos into being
became entirely dependent
on humanity.
