“My idea of God is not a divine idea. It has to be shattered time after time. He shatters it himself. He is the great iconoclast. Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of his presence? The Incarnation is the supreme example; it leaves all previous ideas of the Messiah in ruins.”
–A Grief Observed [London: Faber&Faber, 1961], p.52
New #Banksy piece is poignantly titled
Scar of Bethlehem. #Jesus is not under a Christmas tree.
Nor in a shopping mall.
And not in many churches either.Look for him (and Mary) where there’s suffering.
And bring healing and light there. #MerryChristmas pic.twitter.com/XZnaoa2obW
