THE MANGER
In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was
God. He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through him, and
without him was not any thing made
that was made… And the Word became
flesh and dwelt among us, and we have
seen his glory, glory as of the only Son
from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(John chapter 1, verses 1-3 and verse 14)

The first thing I want to say is that this child
is not just a child. The first chapter of John’s biography of Jesus makes it clear that this child is
God the Son—that is, this child is God himself.
