John 1:14 - 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.
Look at these lambs.
Love put on flesh and dwells with me.
Sorrow put on flesh and dwells with me.
Hope put on flesh and dwells with me.
Insecurity put on flesh and dwells with me.
Possibility put on flesh and dwells with me.
Compassion put on flesh and dwells with me.
Tenderness put on flesh and dwells with me.
Weakness put on flesh and dwells with me.
Strength put on flesh and dwells with me.
Intelligence put on flesh and dwells with me.
And I have seen the glory, the glory of creation from God's hands, full of complexity and dearness.
Three of my friends have new babies in their lives this week, and their pictures are so impossibly sweet. The personalities and humanity, coiled up in them as mysterious and inevitable as fingerprints, will be revealed day by day.
Jesus came to us just this way.
He unfolded Himself to us, He unfolds Himself to us, and we see His glory in glimpses and fragments.
Just like we see each other.
Incomplete, veiled and revealed in flesh.
Merry Christmas, friends,
To you and the glimpses of glory you live with.
