14 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. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known. (John 1)
God has always shown up. In fact, He is always around everywhere. But when God became man at the Incarnation of Christ, His light invaded and His coming exploded the skies, saying "Here I Am." What a plan! What a way of saying that God really does care about us, have a plan for us, and want a relationship with us. God reveals Himself. He always has - in creation, through His prophets and people, and His Word. But when The Word became flesh and dwelt amoung us, that truth became so real, so tangible, so overwhelming, we are without excuse. God cares. He loves. He can do what needs to be done. Will we trust Him? Will we open up and receive Him?
