Advent Day 20

What does it mean that the Creator of the universe chose to dwell among us? In this profound exploration of John 1:1-14, we're invited to contemplate one of Scripture's most breathtaking truths: the Word who existed before time, through whom everything was created, became flesh and made his home with us. This isn't just theological poetry — it's the heartbeat of our faith. The passage takes us back to Genesis, reminding us that Jesus wasn't Plan B; He was there in the beginning, actively creating all that exists. Now consider the humility required for the Creator to become the created, for infinite God to take on finite flesh. This is the Christmas miracle we celebrate, but it's also our daily reality.

Through the Holy Spirit, Christ continues to dwell within us, making us bearers of his light in a dark world. When we feel lost or overwhelmed by the darkness surrounding us, this passage offers profound hope: the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. That light isn't just for our comfort — it's meant to shine through us, transforming us into reflections of Christ's presence in our communities. As we dwell in this truth, we discover that discipleship is ultimately about following the light our Creator provides, trusting that the One who made us knows exactly how to lead us home.
