Does God Have A Clue What It’s Like To Be You?

Brand new video by Andre Rabe and his son Eugene revealng the astounding Gospel implications of the Incarnation…it is GOOD NEWS for all people! Jesus is “God With Us.” The Incarnation does not come and surprise us with how different God is but instead with how much like us He is! He knows and understands our lives better than we understand them ourselves.

Discover how the trinitarian life of the Father, Son and Spirit is not some dry doctrine out of a theology book but the very expression of His love for all humanity. The eternal goal of the Living Word of God was not the pages of the Bible but your life! As Andre has said:

“He did not want to be God by Himself, with Himself or for Himself. The only way He wanted to be God was with man, for man and as a man!”

We know that the human form is God’s favorite existence and expression for He has told us: “It pleased the Father to have all the fullness of deity dwell in Him.” (Col 1:19)

God wants to live His life through you!

Jesus is what God believes about you…!

Does God have a clue
what it’s like to be you?

Does a God who sees all
does He understand?
Can He imagine the limitations,
the shortsightedness of human life?
As Job once asked: Do You have eyes of flesh?
Are Your days like the days of man?
Can He comprehend such blindness,
to who’s eyes all is clear?

Has God ever lived by faith
and not by sight?

Can a God who is all-knowing
Can He identify with
a being as me – facing uncertainty
trapped in situations
where the outcome is not clear
How does He know
what it is like to not know all

Could the limitless One endure the confines of human life?
Could he bear the ordinary existence of a man?
Is He powerful enough to become so weak?
Is He all-knowing enough to know our doubt?

If life was only neutral,
faith wouldn’t have been so unusual.
But often, the mundane turns to pain
Our uncertainties become frightfully clear:
Here where we live,
there is rejection,
there is shame,
there is injustice.

Does God have any idea
what it is like to be here?

Has the All-powerful One, ever been helpless?
Has the immortal God, ever faced death?
Has this God ever really experienced conflict or confusion?
Has He been tempted?
Does God have any clue,
what it is like to be you/me?

…

I love your questions, now hear my reply:
I came … and became all that you are
Willingly subjecting myself to every human limitation
I saw with eyes of flesh
Not all was clear, not all was bare
when I became you.
The incarnation is my answer.

He had to grow, he had to learn,
An ordinary man, a carpenter, most of his life
The routine, the frustrations,
the anxieties of daily life, he understands.
Yet, he began to remember, began to see,
discovered a faith, that allowed him to perceive,
the spectacular beyond the visible.

The Word became flesh,
entered our domain of conflict and shame.
Falsely accused, brutally abused
As nails were driven through His flesh,
He even knew even our doubt …
and on our behalf cried out:
My God, my God, Why?
Have you forsaken me?
But then, as God, he answered:
By entering our hell he declares:
I will rather go to hell than forsake you.
Even when you are at your worst
I will not turn my face or despise you
He experienced our torment, ……
felt our pain,
subjected to our injustice
wounded by our violence
assumed even our doubt.
He came in the form of sinful flesh,
exposed Himself in the most vulnerable state,
defined Himself in a human face.

He knows you
He has experienced everything you have experienced, with you
For in Him all things consists …
including you
You were in Him, when He became man … he became you.

Do you have a clue,
how well God knows you.
He invites you to see what He sees,
And to know as you have always been known.
For the moment you become aware of him,
your hell becomes heaven.

He does not save by legal transaction
He does not heal from afar by magic incantations
He heals what He becomes, He saves what He assumes.
He became all that you are
so that you may be all he is.
Our atonement secured by His at-one-ment with us
He embraced us when we were at our worst,
that we might share in His best: resurrection life.

Right now, wherever you might find yourself,
He is with you, He is for you, He loves you
and wants to turn your life into the greatest romantic adventure.
Simply become aware of His closeness.
