Jesus Christ & The Anthrocentricism of Home-Matthew 8:20


In the aftermath of the home mortgage crisis millions of Americans experienced the insecurity of loss of home equity. If not all became homeless living upon the streets or in the forests, many became renters or sharers of dwellings-with-others. The Lord Jesus Christ expressed his own station in life regarding dwelling.
Matthew 8:20 "And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."
The Lord Jesus did not have a customary location that was his home. That makes a lot of sense for God, yet it is difficult a humanity that is very property and security oriented.
Animals generally have a 'home', den, borough, nest, hole, cave, reef, shell or such in which they find life more comfortable and secure. The cunning fox has a place to return to with Kentucky Fried Chicken while the birds have the sky for a house and a nest for their bed. Jesus Christ was not limited to such a geographic center as is most of humanity, and neither should he logically with monistic oneness with all that could exist as His heritage.
Today one might expect that the government could mediate a little the housing crisis in the U.S.A. by giving favorable tax and energy benefit reinforcement to small eco-niche integrated homes with large healthy eco-yards as wild as possible for low price with mortgages that cannot be traded on global commodity exchanges where they may become owned by the ones destined to exist for eternity in hell.
