- Timothy Keller gives illustrates the GOSPEL and the INCARNATION OF JESUS CHRIST using the example of an author writing themselves into their own narrative. He explains that man cannot related to God like a person on the first floor would relate to a person living on the second floor. God is not going to be found by His creation through our climbing physically higher into the heavens or into space. Keller describes how Yuri Gagarin the Soviet cosmonaut, after becoming the first person we knew of to ascend to outer space, thought it was a point for the materialistic atheism the Soviet Union embraced as the doctrine of its land when he went up to space and didn't see God. Keller goes on to explain that CS LEWIS, still being alive at the time responded in an essay "THE SEEING EYE," in which he made the point that God wouldn't be discovered or related to by people like a person living on the first floor would find or related to a person living on the second floor of a building, but MUCH MORE like HAMLET relating to SHAKESPEARE. CS LEWIS explains that Hamlet would be helpless to discover Shakespeare, indeed, he could know NOTHING much about Shakespeare accept to speculate about an author to his story UNLESS Shakespeare were to WRITE HIMSELF IN to his play. Keller uses the example of Dorothy Sayer who is thought to have written herself into her stories of Sir PETER WIMSEY the detective. It is thought that she looked into her story, saw Peter, lonely and in need, and she WROTE HERSELF into the story to because she loved him and wanted to save him from that loneliness and hopelessness. Timothy Keller makes the case that that is almost exactly what GOD did through Jesus Christ. In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the word was God, He was with God in the beginning. The WORD BECAME FLESH and dwelt among us. God looked into His creation, He saw us suffering and hopeless in sin and death, and HE wrote Himself into His narrative to save us. Christ is the revelation of the creator and author of all creation. God wrote Himself into the story. That is what the incarnation is all about.

Allegory is not evidence Tim. Facts trump faith.

Do you have any confirmative evidence for a deity?@@kogarashi1994
and still no evidence for this nonsense, no matter how many clever ways are invented to try to make it exist.
Proverbs 14: 1 ,,, Only a Fool says there is no GOD . THE EVIDENCE IS EVERYTHING, BUT those you refuse to see , Will not see . I'll Pray for your eyes to be opened and realize how much GOD does care for you.
You will be so surprised when you meet him. He will tell you how much he loves you. 😍
@@azdesertuser7997 Funny how most, if not all, cultists make this same basless claim, Az. Unfortunately, dear, you and all of those other theists can't show their god merely exists, much less that "everything" is evidence for your lies.
Pray hard, dear. I've had dozens of christians like you pray for me to agree with you over the last 30+ years and you've all failed miserably. Why is that, Az? Is it that your god loves me as I am? That your god doesn't think you are a true believer? Or that your god simply doesn't exist?
I was a christian, and prayed for help from this god so i wouldn't lose my faith. Curious how your promises failed 30+ years ago for this god to show it cares.

@@mariahelenajarvenpaa8834 Sorry, Maria, your lies have failed 30+ years ago when I was a christian and prayed for help to not lose my faith.

But how do you explain the fact that the disciples run off to tell this story (of Jesus life death and resurrection) even though it costs their own life.
