John 1:14 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.
John says very simply: Jesus Christ, the Word, God the Son, has come into the world. We have seen Him, and we have gotten a glimpse of His glory. He is the answer to so many questions: What is God like? What is God up to? What is really real? Despite all the distractions that the commotion of Christmas can bring into our lives, doing it every year can do this: It can help us refocus on Christ, and go on from here really focusing on Him as the One Who provides us the answers we need. He brings us back to truth. He gives us the grace to go on and do what we cannot do on our own. He is God's greatest gift of all. May we rejoice today that He has come, and He is coming again.
