The point is just the opposite; that God broke through the borders of man's definition of what is human, and gave a new, formative definition in Jesus.

Jesus came for us, but that doesn't mean he came to please us. Jesus came for us, but he does not answer to us. Jesus came for us, but he will not subject himself to our agenda . . .
