In th Flesh

I just read a good post from Russell Moore answering the question of whether or not Jesus ever got sick. It is an interesting read and I encourage you to check it out. The Incarnation was and is such a startling thing.

Here's an excerpt:

"It just doesn’t seem right to us to imagine Jesus feverish or vomiting. But that’s precisely the scandal. It didn’t seem right to many to imagine Jesus as really flesh and bone, filled with blood and intestines and urine. Somehow that seemed to detract from his deity. It surely didn’t seem right to many to imagine the only begotten of the Father twisting in pain on a crucifixion stake, screaming as he drowned in his own blood. This was humiliating, undignified. That’s just the point. Jesus joined us in our humiliation, in our indignity."
