Christmas Is The Word Alive In You
And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human,
incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh,
lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His
glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an
only begotten son receives from his father, full of
grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth
(John 1:14 AMPC).
How awesome this is! Jesus, the Word, the
ancient of days, became flesh and dwelt
among us; that’s Christmas! I can imagine how awestricken the people were to see Jesus walk the streets
in Bible days, full of grace and truth! The Bible says
the disciples beheld His glory; He was resplendent
in honour and majesty. The Word, which was, in the
beginning of the ages now abides, not just with us but
also in us.
The Bible says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with
child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call
his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God
with us” (Matthew 1:23). He was born “Emmanuel,”
but today, He’s the Word alive in us: “Even the
mystery which hath been hid from ages and from
generations, but now is made manifest to his saints…
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians
1:26-27). Wow!
Christmas means the abiding Word in you! Now,
like Him, you’re the Word in flesh, because you’re born
of the Word: “Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which
liveth and abideth forever” (1 Peter 1:23). James 1:18
declares, “Of his own will begat he us with the word
of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his
creatures.” Blessed be God!
The Word became flesh and walked the streets;
they beheld His glory, until He was slain. But God
raised Him up and showed Him openly with many
infallible proofs. Now, He abides in you. He lives
in you, and you live through Him! This is the true
definition and essence of Christmas: The Word has
come. Christ is born. He lived and died, to be born in
our hearts. Now He abides in you forever!
The One whose glory and light the Prophets spoke
of; the true Light, which lights every man that comes
into the world; the very essence of life—Christ Jesus—is
born in our hearts and He’s alive in you today. Merry
Christmas!
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for your presence in my life, and the
glory of your Word, which is manifested through me today.
I’m one with the Word, being born of the Word! Christ, the
Living and incarnate Word has become my life; I live in and
through Him. Blessed be God!
