“And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 (NASB)
The signs of Christmas coming are all around us. We've seen the lights for some time and are now hearing the music of Christmas carols and seasonal holiday songs. The true meaning of this celebration is found in today's verse from the first chapter of the Gospel of John. It tells us what those who saw Jesus when He was here on earth understood of the event that we celebrate at Christmas. As a disciple who knew and walked with Jesus, John says that they got to see His glory. John was not with the shepherds near Bethlehem who saw God's glory the night Jesus was born. The glory John and the other disciples saw was in His person because He was God in human form. This Christmas season, remember the promise that Jesus is with us today and we can see His glory each day because He lives in us.
