Christmas points to the centrality of the Word of God taking flesh. And this mystery of the incarnation being intricately weaved along the story of the ever present relationship between God and humanity.
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only-begotten Son, full of grace and truth."
We are called to witness thus to the gracious act of God in human history. That changed the face of the created cosmos through the direct intervention of God, enacting his grace filled mercy and compassion. God’s sweet embrace open us not to the very extent of the person of God but to his heart. He knew that the only way for us to know him and understand him is by speaking the language of the heart. Thus, the incarnation of God through Jesus, introduces us to the heat of God, his nature, his immeasurable love.
