Down to Earth - Week 1 - The Word Became Flesh And Made His Dwelling Among Us

WestGate Church Teaching

There is an art genre of known as “capriccio” (ka-PREE-cho) where artists take famous landmarks and depict them in places and times where they don’t belong. The goal is to shock the viewer out of complacency and really consider the beauty of the landmark depicted. The thing is, sometimes the entire Christmas story becomes so familiar, we need to do that with the birth of Jesus. Because when we consider the wonder and miracle that God came down to earth to dwell with humans, with the end goal to live not just with us but in us, that staggering reality really should cause us joy and awe.
