I remember seeing this years ago, and having a good laugh. I'd not had any exposure to The Onion prior.
The fact that Jesus was God in the flesh can be / should be our focus this week. He was definitely selfless and brave, but it's his flesh that made him one of us.
Today, he's just as God in the flesh as he was when he was here on Earth. We know this from the Bible. When he ascended, he didn't leave his flesh behind. Only the Holy Spirit was left.
Therefore today, as New Testament (Gentile) Christians, our identity in Christ is one that's mated to a God in the flesh.
As a man, particularly a Samson man, I can find myself at times having difficulty making peace with my flesh. And it's during these times when I absolutely forget that Christ is no different than I am as the son of God. God in the flesh. Flexing his muscles for the angels.
