The Servant God

Bruce Becker has written a superb piece on the servant nature of Jesus Christ, here. One key paragraph:

God has a funny way of doing things. When God introduces Himself to the planet, he picks a tiny minority, the Jews, and two podunk towns and a young, unmarried, peasant couple who quickly become refugees. For the welcoming committee He prefers old folks and outsiders. His Son is a blue collar worker who spends 90% of his life punching a clock as a nonunion cart mechanic. And the greatest achievement of God occurs not over a century, decade or year, but a three day weekend. And it featured a public execution!

Thanks, Bruce.
