So the Word became human, and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
– John 1: 14(NLT)
GLORY OF GOD IN THE SON
A poem and essay by ILMA
God was with Mary and Joseph as they traveled
Despite the threat to his life, he was safely delivered
When Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem in a manger
The Word became human in the midst of danger.
At Christ’s birth, we saw the glory of God in the Son
He was full of faithfulness, mercy and unfailing love
Magnify the gift of love given to us by God through Christ
Give him praise and worship him all throughout your life.

All throughout the bible, God has never shown himself to any man. But when Jesus Christ was born, we actually saw him in person. In John 1:14, we are told that the Word (who is Christ himself) became one of us. This is one of the greatest mystery that God showed us. He brought Jesus who was God and was born of virgin birth in uncertain and dangerous times. Despite the many years that God has avoided showing himself to mankind, he also brought himself to us through Jesus Christ so we would be able to relate with him as we would to him. God’s full glory is manifest in his son Jesus.
