“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” – John 1:14
What an extraordinary moment! The eternal Word, who was with God in the beginning and who was God, became flesh and lived among us. The event we call Christmas was the pivotal moment in history when the divine Son of God took on human flesh and a human nature, stepping into our fallen world.
By doing so, He could live the perfect life we can’t, defeating every temptation thrown at Him. By doing so, He could give Himself as a perfect, innocent sacrifice sufficient to pay the penalty for all our sins. By doing so, He became our Savior, a Savior who understands the difficulties and pain of ordinary human existence and so truly understands when we cry out to Him. By doing so, Jesus brought grace and truth into our lives when we embrace Him. What a glorious moment!!!
