Scripture: In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the
beginning with God; 3 all things were made through him, and without him was not anything
made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in
the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:1-18
Reflection: Jesus, the eternal word of God who always was,
is revealed and entered human history.
He is the eternal Word who always was from the beginning and is now. Just as a word best expresses a person who
utters it, so too Jesus, the eternal word, is the manifestation that best
expresses the living God.
If I am joyful, I express it with a word or a joyous cry
from my mouth, similarly God is fully expressed to us by Jesus. When someone
has given a word of commitment then if the person forgets or delays we hold the
person responsible to his commitment, similarly Jesus is the commitment of God
to humanity in order to redeem it and save it.
This commitment is ultimately fulfilled in the passion,
death and resurrection of Christ; thus is revealed God’s love for us.
He went about doing good and took upon himself the mission
of saving mankind and hence is the savior of the world. He accomplished the
task by redeeming us from the clutches of the evil one.
Prayer: Eternal
Father, we praise your glorious name as we remember with love the revelation of
Jesus in the great Christmas Story.

the Lord with us.
