Week 2 - Wednesday Reflection

"Where does Jesus fit?" was great. It leads me to the incarnation. God lowering himself from deity to humanity is a bigger "demotion" than anyone's lowering from high to working culture. The incarnation shows Jesus penetrates working class culture because, the God who could have lived in some palace, chose to hammer and sweat with the simple. But he comes to "high" culture because Jesus meets us as we are, affluent or not. Jesus doesn't stick his nose up at culture ala Arnold or Leavis, he redeems it - as he did all of humanity in the incarnation.
