Jesus needed flesh and still does today. In fact that is a cornerstone of Christianity's doctrine that Jesus came in clothed within human flesh. The truth needed to be enfleshed to be apprehended.
I think we have swung to far towards heaven in our attempts to get free from the sins of the flesh. We seem like ghosts to the world around us. We are frightening more than curious to most. Because we are spirits without bodies.
We need to come back to earth.
I know it's a balance but the imbalance has made us far too unapproachable.
