in·car·na·tion— “To put flesh on something” - Incarnation is what theologians and Christians through the ages have called Jesus being born fully God and fully human. For Jesus to be born in a stable was for God to come to earth in the flesh. God purposefully relating to us. God with Us—Emmanuel - is what Christmas celebrates.

We use the word and concept of incarnate in two other ways. 1) The Bible is well understood using the “incarnational analogy” - When we hold the Bible we have in our hands the Word of God in a human book. God went out of his way to communicate with us in a book that is accessible to us. 2) I think that ministry of all sorts, especially student ministry, is ever replicating Christmas in that we are always trying to redeem human culture and creativity to flesh out God to students and adults. The wonderful things about Christmas is that Jesus entered into our world. He humbled himself because He loved us. Following Jesus is to always be incarnating. Always humbly entering into worlds that desperately need God. We humble ourselves to love others. This Christmas remember Jesus humbly coming as a baby in a manger to reach Us, and remember to imitate Him by humbling yourself to go on Jesus’ mission to flesh out what God looks like to people on Long Island. Incarnate! - Represent Jesus!
