This is whererepparttar other key word appears—"Kenosis." It is a word used to speak of how Jesus emptied himself. But when Jesus emptied himself to enter our world as human, he was acting and loving out ofrepparttar 129350 dance ofrepparttar 129351 Holy Trinity.

Sorepparttar 129352 incarnation offers us a mysterious and astonishing vision—the Holy Trinity as a dancing community of divine poverty. Each eternally, joyfully, disposing themselves; emptying, pouring themselves out torepparttar 129353 favor and glory ofrepparttar 129354 other. Nothing claimed, demanded or grasped. They live and know each other inrepparttar 129355 simple ecstasy of giving.

We are invited to participate in this dance. There are accounts in early Christian writings of churches expressing their prayer through dance. God’s desire from before all time has been to draw us into His dance. So put your dancing shoes on and grab your partner. He isrepparttar 129356 one withrepparttar 129357 nail scared feet and hands. Don’t under estimate His dance steps. I assure you,He can "cut a rug." He’s doing it now withrepparttar 129358 Father and Holy Spirit!
