Kruger again, speaking of the incarnation of the Son of God as a carpenter in Nazareth: “For at least a moment in history, human laughter, human sharing, human compassion, human love, human fellowship and comaraderie and togetherness were all more than human. For at least one moment in history, carpentry and the delight of making things and helping others, human excellence and the pride and joy and creativity and design and moving from design to completed product, were all more than merely human. They were the living expression of the humanity of God, the living expression of the incarnate Son living out his divine sonship, the living expression of a man utterly baptized in the Holy Spirit.”
And not just for a moment. Jesus hasn’t become a “spectator.” By His Spirit, “He continues to live out his sonship, today and forever, as a human being – he just does not do it alone , but in union with us, in and through our work and play and gardening, in and through our relationships, our friendship, our marriages and romance, in and through our doctoring and teaching and carpentry, in and through our lake designing and dirt moving, in and through our social work and research and study and saving whales.”
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
