In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God–13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-5;10-14
For God, the perfect creator, so loved, the perfect expression, the world, his perfect creation, that he gave, the perfect gift, his one and only Son, the perfect redeemer, that whoever believes in him, the perfect solution, shall not perish, the perfect promise, but have eternal life, the perfect eternity.
Have a blessed time of celebration of our Lord’s birth with your family and friends.
Merry Christmas!
