God’s communication with humanity is personal, not a mere recording, as exemplified by the Incarnation. A college professor’s experience of finding her lectures being recorded by machines, rather than attended by students, illustrates the impersonal nature of a recording compared to a living presence. The sermon emphasizes that God’s message to us is not a distant recording but a personal encounter, culminating in the divine act of the Word becoming flesh and dwelling among us. This profound truth serves as a moment to remember from the Bible, highlighting the personal nature of God’s engagement with humanity.

A college professor received a large grant so that she could do research abroad. She had one problem. She couldn't get anyone to substitute for her. Then she decided to videotape her classes. She had two days before she had to leave on the trip, so she thought she would go and see how the lectures were going. She quietly went into the classroom, and to her surprise, there were no students in the room. On the seats were eighteen tape recorders, taking down everything she said. God did not send us a tape recording when he had a message for us. He came in person. The Bible says the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Yes, God became man. This has been a moment to remember from the Bible.
