What do you think about when you think about Christmas? Some people think about a birthday party for the baby Jesus. Others think about the beginning of a short-lived life oriented toward Calvary from the start. However, I suggest that Christians would do well to refocus our thoughts this Christmas and spend some time reflecting on the humanity of God. Like many Hellenistic thinkers of old, some readers today will chafe at the juxtaposition of humanity and God so close together, as if that phrase represented divine insult. Nevertheless, the humanity of God is precisely the scandalous theological truth Christians celebrate each Dec. 25. It s just that so many of us have grown accustomed to brushing past Jesus full humanity in favor of a potentially more appealing (and unwittingly heretical) view that God was somehow merely pretending to be human a kind of divine Undercover Boss but did not experience the full range of human life.
