Religions tend to reduce God to a set of moral maxims
while Jesus's incarnation says God is a knowable tangible being
who loves us so much he desires to be with us and is present to us.

This kind of love is a far cry from a God who thunders rules from a far
and leaves us alone to figure out how to conform to them.
Jesus didn't die so we would
get new religion.

Jesus on earth means God will find us,
stay with us, and never let us go-
if he has to die to take us with him. He doesn't shout from the clouds,
he holds nail- pierced hands with ours and gently whispers "come with me, I know the way."
