La Salle

Thoughts from a tired and rambling mind..

Has anybody ever read a book, and so completely identified with the main character that you wonder if the author could read your mind, even if they're centuries dead? I know that most books contain a character whom one can empathise with in at least one aspect - but how about an entire situation, a whole character?

If we are Christians, we should be seeking to identify with Jesus as much as is humanly possible. But that's just it - we might be able to empathise with his humanity and suffering, for he endured every kind of temptation and pain that it would be hard for us to find one which he could not identify with us in. But we could never empathise with his entire divinity. One of the humanly inconceivable truths of Christ - his complete humanity simultaneous with his complete supernature.

Look Ahead,

Peace
