December 14, 2014: A Divine Dilemma – Michael Hidalgo

We’ve lost what is means to be human. We know we are dirt. We know we have the Divine breath in us. But we don’t know how to live in this. We too often give ourselves over to the dirt. And when we do this we somehow snuff out the Divine – at the very least in our consciousness.

But there is still this thing in us, isn’t there? 

This longing for a home that is somehow here, and yet it still feels far away. It’s the echo that we hear just as it fades away. It’s a sense that we’ve been made for more. That eternity is actually in our hearts, but somehow we can’t access it. It’s an ache, a longing, a desire … it’s the Divine breath within us screaming out “You are more than dirt.” And it’s this longing that Jesus came to reveal to us in his flesh. To show us what it really means to be human – to be, as the Psalmist says, “gods.”
