Why did we celebrate Christmas? Why care about the day God became human? Because Christ, in his humanity, contained every single person that would ever live. Which means that, in the person of Jesus, all humanity (yes that includes you, me, and that really annoying person) finds both empathy and salvation. This revelation is clearly explained by Fulton Sheen, master theologian and TV personality. To illustrate it, we used the simplest elements: water, oil, and color. And we're still scrubbing off color stains.

This video is the third episode of the “Fulton Sheen Timeless Wisdom” project. The audio is part of “Humanity of Christ” from the Fulton Sheen’s lessons on the Catholic Catechism.

Fulton Sheen, a teacher renowned for his clear explanations and deep insight, delivered hundreds of talks between the years 1950 and 1979. The "Fulton Sheen Timeless Wisdom" project attempts to bring his words to life for the internet age, illustrating segments of these lessons for a broad audience. Thing in a Pot Productions is happy to partner with Anthony Buono of FultonSheen.com to deliver a taste of Sheen’s wisdom.
