This We Believe - Ministry 2

Ministry 2
The life of faith encompasses several events and moments that we journey through multiple times during the course of a lifetime.  The devotion below is part of an ongoing series that explores these central themes of Christian doctrine.  

There is nothing so secular that it cannot be sacred, and that is one of the deepest messages of the Incarnation. - Madeleine L’Engle


The claim that God became a human being and lived and walked among us is a bold and powerful assertion that invites us to change the way we understand our daily existence.   We breath air just as Jesus breathed.  We deal with the complexity of human emotion, just as Jesus did.

Because of Jesus’ existence on earth we can say that we are people with whom God has walked.  Therefore, all of life is a place to encounter Jesus.  Nothing is mundane or meaningless.  All of life is saturated by the presence of God because this world is a place that God has physically been.
