“And the Word became flesh.” Let's discuss An Embodied Advent!

As the holiday hustle and bustle begins, let’s consider how the season of Advent highlights the relationship between God and your body.

Your flesh is so important to God that He became flesh. Your body is central to who you are and God cares deeply about it. 

So, this season allow the Light of the world to reveal something new to you about your addiction to pornography, your struggle with infidelity, your flesh.

The Hope of Advent begs to help you in your walk towards sexual wholeness. Let’s unwrap this gift together.

Highlights:

Our bodies are not an accessory that we wear. We are our bodies. We are embodied creatures. You take away the body and you lose who you are.

Advent is the declaration that God cares for your body.  Advent is the declaration that your body matters deeply to God.

If there’s ever any question about the dignity, the importance of the human body; that question is answered completely, fully, forever in the Incarnation.

Seek to treat other people’s bodies with dignity this Advent.

Homework:

Meditate on the reality that God became embodied- Use that truth to guide you while you practice honoring your body. This Advent, try treating your body with dignity as God would. 

The holidays can bring an increase in anxiety & anticipation; recognize it and treat your body with dignity. If you cross a line, honor your body and reflect on your choice.

Try to treat the embodied people around you as worthy. Let their presence be a form of meditation not irritation.

John 9:1-12 Jesus Heals the Man born Blind

“You know how it is when some great king enters a large city and dwells in one of its houses; because of his dwelling in that single house, the whole city is honored, and enemies and robbers cease to molest it. Even so is it with the King of all; He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held them in its power, has simply ceased to be. For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all the Son of God, come among us to put an end to death.” ― Athanasius of Alexandria,
