Christ didn’t come to identify with Christians, Protestant or Catholic, Orthodox or Coptic.

Jesus didn’t come to identify with heterosexuals, married, monogamous, homosexual, or bisexual.

Jesus didn’t come to identify with Jews, or North Americans, with Asians or Europeans, with Africans or South Americans. Jesus came to identify with humans.

He took on humanity. He took on the ecclesiastic meaninglessness of human life: birth, growth, siblings, learning, work, play, love, hurt, rejection, failure, sickness, brutality, etc. All of it. Humanity. He experienced it all. He did no evil. (Faith required). But he experienced every kind of sin against him, and every kind of temptation. He identified as human.

This is the miracle of God with us. Not merely God for us from a distance. But God with us, one of us, in step with us.
