Why We Drive-090422

Rev. Tom Hall

The great passage on the incarnation. The author of Hebrews said we were “made a little lower than the angels.” But in becoming one with us, incredibly, the author of Hebrews claims that Jesus was “made a little lower than the angels” too. Inspired by the 2020 book, Why We Drive, by Matthew Crawford, a professor of political philosophy and a motorcycle mechanic. Crawford saws that exercising our freedom to choose and using our bodies to move through the world help make us truly human. Why didn’t God create a race of robots who obeyed him perfectly? Why did God send his son into the world? Wouldn’t it be easier to just beam faith into our heads?
