We take this child for granted. But it’s bigger than that… we take God for granted. But it’s still bigger… we take our very existence for granted. How can we know God if we don’t know Christ? How can we know Christ if we don’t know ourselves? How can we know ourselves if we don’t take our existence, our created-ness, seriously?
