The Spirit Became Flesh

Skepticism about the spiritual

is at an all time high, brothers and sisters.

Imagine a life without miracles.

A worldview that says all we are is the natural.

A world with no light

What, no welcome home party?

You said you didn't want one.

Yeah that never stopped you before.

Home, sweet home, right?

How could you miss that deer?

Even God wanted you to kill that deer, you had four shots.

Do you think Dad knew that I missed that deer on purpose?

Probably.

You know Dad.

He left a lot unsaid

Should I get another?

Yeah.

Everybody at church has been asking about you.

Everything okay up in New York?

Yeah, everything's fine.

It's kind of nice to get away.

What about you?

You thought any more about coming up there?

- Sam. - I know, Lilah, hear me out.

I'm not moving, especially now.

I haven't been sick in months.

Yeah, but you said that you would consider it

if I came back, right?

I don't know, I'm just, I'm worried about you.

I mean, Lilah, look around.

This place is falling apart.

We can start over.

You think Mom and Dad are watching over us?

I don't know.

What the hell is that?

Your welcome home party.

Lilah,

where are we going?

You'll see, we're almost there.

Sam, it is wonderful to see you.

Pastor.

Everyone.

What are we doing here?

We've missed you, son.

We're just so happy you're back.

You know, I didn't think you'd come back, but your sister,

your sister had so much faith in you.

You ready to see the light of the world?

In the beginning was the spirit

and the spirit was with God,

and the spirit was God.

And then the spirit became flesh

and dwelt among us.

Whoa, whoa, hey what's happening here.

- Kneel. - What's happening?

Kneel, now!

How's the job going, Sam?

I'll bet it's awful cold up there.

You doing all right up there by yourself, son.

You know, community's important.

Remember, you have lots of folks who love you up here.

Don't worry, Sam, this is a perfectly natural reaction.

You alright?

You got to get your things, we're leaving.

No.

Lilah, what the fuck?

I always knew you were gonna leave,

even when we were kids.

What are you talking about right now?

You left us, Sam, you left me.

This is our home and, and you turned your back on it.

And now you, you want to leave again?

For what?

Whoa, whoa, Lilah, hey, are you okay?

The spirit of God is among us, Sam.
