What's the best medium for communicating the gospel? Here's what Shane Hipps says in his book: "Flickering Pixels: How Technology Shapes Our Faith"

At some point in history, though, God decided that it was time to communicate with the greatest medium he would ever use. A dazed, drooling infant in a manger—Jesus of Nazareth.
In Jesus Christ, God’s medium and message are perfectly united. As the opening of John’s gospel tells us, “In the beginning … the Word was with God, and the Word was God … the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” The most complete revelation of God to that point was expressed in Jesus.
It is a message that radiates from every part of his being. God emanates not only from Jesus’ teachings, but also from his life. Even his birth proclaimed a message: I am not a distant God high in heaven. I am a God who joins you, who experiences the hardships of this life, one who suffers with you. I am Compassion. His acts of healing spoke clearly: I not only suffer with you, but I am a God who longs to ease, transform, and release you from your suffering.
His longest teaching, the Sermon on the Mount, is not difficult to decode: Love matters more than any other commandment. Love yourself, your neighbor, and even your enemies in the same way you love me. Ultimately, love has no opposite, no reversal.
His death carried a message: I live dangerously. Following me is not for the faint of heart. You will lose this world but gain your soul. Following me will cost some of you everything. But it will transform the world. His resurrection: It’s not so bad losing your life. Death isn’t the true end—it’s a birth into a world where every tear is wiped away. A new life where all suffering dissolves like a salt cube in the boundless sea of God’s compassion, peace, and love. Jesus is God’s perfect medium—and the medium is the message.
