“I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.” – Ez 11:19
The very first thing God handed us to hold was the Ten Commandments (actually twice). They were bold and strong and true, but they were written in stone, and they didn’t change us. Our hearts were just as hard.
At Christmas, God decided to hand us something else. It was bold and strong and true, but it was made of flesh. It wasn’t words written down in granite, but it was “the Word” with a beating heart. And this time this gift could change us.
