Get the appNot Lent but Given: The Here I AMSample
“Welcome Jesus”
It happened. Suddenly, by one, concentric but convoluted moment, the seamless split. Miraculously, by two, simultaneous but terrific tears, oneness ripped. Christ from His Father, and Christ from His mother. But the moment He did, weak, bloodied, and gasping for breath - the estrangement of everyday life in this world was invited to embody its Maker.
When Jesus gulped his first breath of air, the world was granted breadth to be His heir. Love wailed, a child torn from home, and every person from east to west, from young to old and from obscure to well-known, became a guest of God. What was the shape of this unfathomed space?
A tadpole. A Father’s Son. A child, grown to Jesus.

About this Plan
Jesus wasn’t lent. He was given. Which means, Here is why Easter doesn’t begin with Good Friday, but Bethlehem. Here is why Jesus is not conditioned by the rules you keep, but you are positioned by those He kept perfectly. Here is why death is forever defeated and you can walk the pages of God’s Word with washed feet. Here is why you are rising, even now as you read, and resurrection doesn’t culminate on Sundays. Here is Christ. Jesus is the Here I AM.
