LEFC Family Advent Readings: “We Have Seen His Glory”
Week #4: “The Word Became Flesh”
“Advent” means “coming.” Christmas is coming. Jesus has come and is coming again.
During our Advent Readings this season, we have been meditating upon the glory of the One and Only Son of God Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. There is no one else like Him.
[LIGHT FIRST CANDLE AGAIN.]
Our first candle taught us the amazing truth that Jesus is the eternal Word of God. When God wanted to tell us about Himself, He sent His Son as the Message.
[LIGHT SECOND CANDLE AGAIN.]
Our second candle reminded us that Jesus is the true light of humanity. When Jesus came, the darkness lost.
[LIGHT THIRD CANDLE AGAIN.]
Our third candle radiated the truth that Jesus must be welcomed. When we receive Him by faith, we become the beloved children of God by new birth.
[LIGHT FOURTH CANDLE.]
Our fourth candle proclaims to us the astonishing truth that the eternal Son of God became a human being just as we are.
[READ JOHN 1:14.]
The Word of God, who was fully God, became fully human and came to live among us as Jesus Christ. This is the miracle of the Incarnation.
As the carol sings:
“Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail the in’incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.”
Let us worship Him forever in wonder and glorious joy.
