Something a little bit different this week. NOT WWJD, “What would Jesus do?” Instead WWYD, “What would you do?”
 Think about the incarnation. If you were God (I know, it’s a scary thought!) how would you have chosen to arrive on earth? Be honest. Think about it.
 

There are many options, but the least likely is the one that God chose for his son Jesus. A baby. Totally reliant on others. Indeed the swaddling clothes show just how trusting he was. They are not like the modern day diaper. No. Instead the strips of cloth would have made Jesus appear more like a miniature mummy. Perhaps that is another reason we should take the Abraham and Isaac sacrifice story so seriously. Isaac was going to be tied down and sacrificed, totally at the mercy of his father. Jesus, many centuries later was at the mercy of his people, and as St John reminds us his own knew him not….
