Day 28 – The Word Became Flesh
📖 John 1:14
“The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14, NRSV)
Reflection:
At the heart of Christmas is this astonishing truth: God came to dwell with us. Not in splendour or distance, but in the everyday reality of human life. The eternal Word took on skin—fragile, vulnerable, mortal—and entered our world in the form of a newborn child.
Jesus, God’s Son, didn’t just visit; he moved in. He walked our streets, touched the sick, wept with the grieving, and loved the broken. He knows what it’s like to be us. The incarnation is not just a miracle of birth; it’s the miracle of divine love choosing intimacy over distance.
Illustration:
Imagine someone building a home for people in need—not just designing it from afar, but choosing to live among them, to share the conditions and the struggles of their daily life. That’s what God did at Christmas. He didn’t send a message—he came in person. That’s what makes it love.
Prayer:
Emmanuel—God with us—thank you for drawing near, for choosing to live among us with grace and truth. Help me to see your presence in the ordinary, to welcome you into my daily moments, and to carry your love to others. Dwell with me now and always. Amen.
