    As Christians, we fully understand that it is important to Play Nice With Others. Can I tell you that’s a concept that is much harder from some than it is for others!

    Last time we answered two very important questions: “What does the Incarnation mean for Jesus?” and “What does the Incarnation mean for us?” What does this mean for Him? Jesus, who had come to earth as God and King, put on a body. He was God, but He restricted the independent use of His deity, ...read more
