John 1:14 (ESV)
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we have seen his glory . . .
This verse is often read at Christmas. But John isn’t writing about the glory of Christ’s birth–it’s not just angelic announcements, an unusual star or the babe in a manger.
John saw glory in wise words, miraculous healings, death on the cross, resurrection, ascension. He saw God-in-Him in God-with-us.
