Christianity is not merely a moral code, but the confession that God has become man in Christ. We have a God who is passionately in love with us, so much so that He is willing to take our flesh and suffer for us. For this reason, the church needs to emphasize the passion of God over our piety. Where mere piety has triumphed over God's passion for us, God's passionate act of incarnation will no longer be understood. What does this enfleshment of God have to do with a set of bloodless, or shall we say disembodied, principles for your life? We must confess the shocking and irreducible reality of the incarnation of God in Christ. Christ is an irreducible, brute fact.
