Christ en majesté, Matthias Grünewald, 16th c.: Resurrection of Jesus
Incarnation is and was hard ...seeing from everyone's point of view, feeling the pain of all sides, calling forth intercession, glimpsing a divine and eternal perspective, knowing that others do not and cannot know and feel what you know and feel.
God did it and does it and invites us to share a piece of the action ... which depolarizes us and unnerves us and takes away all sorts of safe hiding places where we might retreat.
Jesus had no name that any could understand to define or confine him, so he most often called himself, "Son of Man."
That is incarnation and it calls for identification with all suffering and allows for no comfort zone with which to label oneself.
