Humpty Dumpty (Christmas Eve 2020) by Amma Susan

If sin means separation from God, then yes, of course Jesus was sinless, because there’s no distance between Jesus and God, and God and Spirit. And, when Jesus was born among us, as I preached last week, that’s the invitation for us to see and grasp that there it’s possible for us too, to know God in that way, eventually… But here’s the big problem. We are sooo fractured and falling apart at the seams. As I contemplated our splintered-state, which truly seems irreparable at times (for us but not for God!) I was reminded of the nursery rhyme: Humpty Dumpty.
