Comments on: Borrowed for greatness http://www.servingbread.net/2007/06/13/borrowed-for-greatness Thoughts, Musings, Reflections, and Ramblings of a campus minister, father, husband, and a Jesus-follower Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:54:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Tyler Watson http://www.servingbread.net/2007/06/13/borrowed-for-greatness/comment-page-1#comment-7746 Tyler Watson Thu, 14 Jun 2007 14:11:17 +0000 http://www.servingbread.net/2007/06/13/borrowed-for-greatness/#comment-7746 Nice quotation. I like the idea of identification without the loss of identity. At the same time, I think we can also say that Jesus' identity <em>is</em> that he identified with us. "[H]e was born in a borrowed manger, preached from a borrowed boat, entered Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey, ate the Last Supper in a borrowed upper room, died on a borrowed cross and was buried in a borrowed tomb." I think we need to ask: was Jesus being incarnational or was he a mooch? Nice quotation. I like the idea of identification without the loss of identity.
