What if God was one of us?

I was reminded of this song whilst writing tomorrow's sermon which has the theme of 'God of the ordinary.'

How often we look for God in the miraculous, the spectacular - wanting signs and wonders and amazing 'times of worship' and all the spiritual gifts we can think of. Alternatively, we seek Him in symbolism, as if He'll suddenly appear if we follow this or that ritual, ceremony or liturgy.

... and all the while Jesus is standing, waiting on the shore, fire lit, cooking breakfast for us.

The God of the ordinary.

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." Revelation 3:20
