Vulnerability

My husband has been talking a lot lately and usually into the wee hours of the night. His topic of late is vulnerability. He is musing that part of the reason we can't seem to understand the Bible or relate to the life and teachings and life of Jesus is because we so fear vulnerability which was central to the life of Jesus. We actually wish that we could rewrite the Gospel to erase the things that make us uncomfortable. We don't like the fact that Jesus came as a baby, and that He was ridiculed and suffered. We want all of the strength that the Word has to offer but we fail to see that vulnerability is a TREASURE. A treasure?! Wow, I never looked at like this. I need to chew on this some more. This could really be a thing of transformation.
