I got an idea, and I guess I already kind of gave it away with the music that Jeff just did.

I wanted to do a few bonus Saturday Advent episodes this year, and I know at any given time

that the majority of you who are listening are somewhere in the back catalog catching up

and that only a large minority of you are actually current as I'm recording this.

But as I record this, it is early in the Advent season.

And by Advent, I mean that time of year, that is building in anticipation toward Christmas Day

where we celebrate God taking on flesh.

The gigantic climactic event in God's whole redemptive plan,

it's the moment where God goes from a character who dwells in a temple

and even though he's everywhere and he's present and he seems to be affecting history and guiding history,

it still feels like there's this distance between humanity's finite nature and the infinite nature of God

and it feels throughout the Old Testament like there's just only so close you can get.

It just shouldn't work at all for there to be any kind of even logically feasible union

or closeness between the finite and the infinite.

If you really think about that and tease that out more than we're going to do right now,

you see what I'm talking about, that shouldn't even work.

How could those two parties even interact when one party knows everything that has been

and will be and might have been like, how do you have a conversation?
