When Mary Counted His Fingers

“The absolute Truth, the one who fills all things (Eph. 1:23)
condescended to a place where He would have to fill his diapers. This —
to the refined and philosophical mind — was outrageous, impudent, and
even blasphemous . . . The ultimate Truth suckled at His mother’s
breast, had ten fingers and ten toes, which His mother counted, and He
then grew a bit older and went to Nazareth High.
The universal became a
particular, and did so without ceasing to be a universal. The universal
Truth has a hometown, and a mom, and is a scandal to the Greeks. He is
also a scandal to the Kantians and the postmodernists, and all for the
same reason” (God Rest Ye Merry, pp. 68-69).
