Something Real.

Jesus became real to the world when He stepped down from heaven to live life as a human. He became "More than a story," as the song goes, "more than words on a page of history..." When we pray, we shouldn't pray as to a distant god who looks down at us from some high up, far away place, because when we pray, we pray to our God who looks us in the eye, takes our hand, and our heart, and says "I love you. I love you enough to do more than reach down and lift you up. I love you enough to go down to where you were, where you couldn't get up from, and carry you up to be with me."
