text: Thanks Nate,
  
  This thing about ‘eating’ from ‘the tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ killing us is instructive.  Maybe it wasn’t a test but a simple announcement.
  
  Not having to understand pain and suffering is a bit of a relief, but it wouldn’t be much of a relief if we merely suffered with nothing to confirm our experience as truly human.
  
  Then came Jesus, the Creator God, becoming a human in verity.
  
  What if Jesus is, even primarily, confirming that the human experience is worthy enough for God to fully experience it with us?
  
  I'm recently attracted to that way of seeing the incarnation.
