“And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
“Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God, of His boundless love, became what we are that He might make us what He Himself is.”
Irenaues of Lyons (c. 130-200) in Against Heresies, V.
I am resting today to worship and think about the incarnation with my friends in Alexandria, Egypt. We celebrate that Jesus came to save us and transform us into His likeness as a light to the world.
This Advent and beyond, may our Lord make us people who are full of grace and truth whose generosity is filled with boundless love.
