"And the Word became flesh and dwelled among us." (John 1:14a)
As we sang some of the Christmas Carols in our recent church service, I was reminded of just how many of them express wonderfully the Gospel accounts. Here are a few of them:
"Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing."
"Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel."
"Yet in thy dark street shineth the Everlasting Light."
Hence, my prayer today is,
"Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to Thee be all glory giv'n
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing,
Oh come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord." Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
