ReplyDeleteWhat qualifies as "being human"? Aren't tyrants and pedophiles human?
My understanding is that it's not simply being human, but to humble oneself beneath everyone else... to serve, live a life of poverty, carry another person's load, give them your cloak as well, wash their feet, die to oneself, and take up your cross.
Zeus could become human. But only Christ became a human that epitomized Love.

"Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross."
