The Word Became a Baby...

John 1:14 Now1 the Word became flesh2 and took up residence3 among us. We4 saw his glory – the glory of the one and only,5 full of grace and truth, who came from the Father. 

Col 1:19 ​​​​​​​For God1 was pleased to have all his2 fullness dwell3 in the Son4

1Tim 3:16  And we all agree, our religion contains amazing revelation: He was revealed in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among Gentiles, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

Thy mystery of the Incarnation is indeed great but let's not let that get in the way of the simple, stunning fact:

Jesus lived as one of us:

    from birth to death,

    manger to grave,

    baby to man

And in all that time....

Did not sin even once.

He did not simply MAKE a way to God...

He SHOWED the way.

Merry Christmas!

Letting Go... (Phil 2:6 [NET]) who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, (Phil 2:6 [KJV]) Who G3739, being G5225 in G1722 the form G3444 of God G2316, thought it G2233 not G3756 robbery G725 to be G1511 equal G2470 with God G2316: Paul says it clearly enough: Before the Incarnation, Jesus was in the FORM [G3444=MORPHE] of God and was not taking anything [robbing] that didn't belong to Him by being in that position. Nevertheless, He did not hold onto that position because it was God's will that He...
