Hi Everyone

What does John 1:1; "the Word became flesh" - mean to you? I imagine the One who was in the beginning with God, who is God - became flesh, and dwelled (tabernacled) among us. The light of the world was a small buisnessman (a carpenter) among us, and our Savior.

I love what the Spiritual formation Bible has to say about the John 1:1 passage, about the light of John 1:1: "The light is shining. It is a light that defies our ability to capture and define. The light has a voice that speaks to us. The light has hands that hold and heal us. The light has a name - Jesus - the son of Mary, the son of God."

It is a season of reflection. Thought I'd share these musings with you. God Bless.

Your thoughts in this season? (I'd love to hear them.)
