incarnation

Christmas is the celebration of our birth as children of God, the fulfillment of God’s promise, and the restoration of all creation.

Christmas is about the very essence of Incarnation: that because Jesus, the very embodiment of God and His grace and the means for us to know the unknowable God and recognize ourselves as God's beloved children.

This is the gift of Christmas, our true identity, our true humanity through God in Christ. This is the gift of Christmas, and it deserves our full attention on this day and, indeed, throughout the year.

John 1:1-5 "In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it."
