RE: A Short Story - Why was the Word made flesh?
This would be another very good story to tell children in a school and then allow the children to debate amongst themselves whether there are any other ways of looking at the question posed by the priest.
Good grammar. Good layout. Logical order. 1st prize in English. Upvoted.
Thanks for your compliments @swissclive.
I can think of another reason, namely that Jesus's becoming man, and bearing of suffering was premised on making the important point that whatever trials and temptations came man's way, he had it within himself, the power, the strength to overcome all.
Jesus's victory was the proof. And its credibility required that he assumed the state of man, to confront the events of man.
You observe it all to well. Children should find this story educative. Other ways of looking at the Reverend's question make for a very interesting theme for discussion, in terms of effect and symbol
In this story, communication, the subject i have reflected on, is only one of those effects. And i am glad you recognize there are other ways in which the Reverends question could have been looked at, in addition to how Jesse did look at it.
I owe you many gratitudes for the sincere interest and effort to read not just this and my other stories, but all stories so far submitted.
