God, a familiar stranger?

Is God a familiar stranger to us? Though we are familiar with 'godly things' godly nature remain far from us. Perhaps we are too stuck to the familiar. Christ himself and anyone who pointed out to the presence of the Word in their time, had to suffer humiliation and death. When they spoke of God, their message was something strange. The Word is present among us, in many ways which we are not familiar with. God was not hiding in a 'spiritual' world far away from us. God was always with us and among us. In incarnation he made himself visible to us in human form. We can see him, touch him and relate to him with human emotions and human response. We can also learn form him what it means to be human.
