The Temple Of The Living God

The big thing for me, a development over the last few years, is the realization of the Incarnation. To put it very, very simply, if it is true what Tennyson says, what the Koran says, that God is nearer to me than my hands and my feet and my breathing, then God is Here and This is where he lives. This is the temple of the living God, and these hands are not coming out of an organism Here. I see that they’re coming out of the Space. Then these hands do a different job. These feet go on the errands of God, and this voice speaks his words. They are the instruments of Who we really, really are. This is a very different organism from the one we see in the mirror and see around us. This is the First Person, and the First Person is totally different from the third person.
