Jesus Heals Our Story by Entering It
The incarnation is not just a theological doctrine; it is the ultimate act of God entering the human story. Jesus entered our grief, loneliness, betrayal, shame, exhaustion, physical pain, confusion, vulnerability, fears, and limitations.
And He entered our stories with compassion.
When He encounters people in the gospels, He doesn’t just address their symptoms—He touches their trauma, fears, wounds, and memories.
The woman at the well. The woman caught in adultery. Peter, after his denial. Thomas in his doubt. Zacchaeus in his shame. The bleeding woman. The leper who had not been touched in years. The man born blind.
In each story, Jesus does the same thing: He restores dignity by revealing the Father’s heart. This is how He heals our stories, too.
