He became one of us, fully human, ordinary, common, an everyday human being. Jesus brings us face to face with God who demonstrates his intimate involvement with us and his intense desire to be in relationship with us. God answers Isaiah’s cry to tear heaven apart and come down here. This is staggering and completely unheard of in any other religion. It ruins any idea that God is disinterested or aloof or that he is watching from a distance.
