------------------------------------

Shalom is the ‘webbing together of God, humans, and all creation in justice, fulfillment and delight…we call it peace, but it means far more than mere peace of mind or cease-fire among enemies. In the Bible shalom means universal flourishing, wholeness and delight.’     - Cornelius Plantinga Jr.

What greater mercy is there than this, which caused to descend from heaven the maker of heaven; which re-clothed with an earthly body the one who formed the earth; which made equal to us the one who, from eternity, is the equal of the Father; 

which imposed ‘the form of a servant’ on the Master of the world—Bread itself was hungry, fullness itself was thirst. Power itself was made weak, health itself was wounded and life itself was mortal.

All that so that our hunger would be satisfied, so that our dryness would be watered, our weakness supported, our love ignited.

What greater mercy than that which presented to us the Creator created; the Master made a slave; the Redeemer sold; the One who exalts, humbled. 

- Augustine of Hippo
