1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
The word becoming flesh is our Savior. It shows he was there with God since the beginning. Jesus says he is the only way to the father. He is to be our everything. It says specifically, "In him was life, and that life was the light of men." Jesus has been our light from the very beginning. There is a Starfield lyric that I was reminded of reading this passage. "You thought of us before the world began to breathe, You knew our names before we came to be" That's what I imagine it was like. Through the darkness Jesus saw us, saw the desperation for salvation and he was the light that had come to save us. I'm understanding more and more on how to leave "religion" behind and focus on having a living relationship with our Father and passages like this are so beautiful because the image is so clear and it's humbling to see that we were chosen to see the light.

thanks miriam for your reflection today. it is truly humbling as you say to think that Jesus, through whom "all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made", left His eternal glory forever and became "flesh", entering this world as a tiny, helpless baby, just like you and I did. it is truly amazing to think that Jesus ever came the way He did. who can ever understand the depths of His humility and grace? the only right response is worship.
Thanks Miriam.
As I read today's passage, the description John gives about Jesus was very powerful and beautiful.
thanks for you reflection miriam :-)
