And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His Glory. The Glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Before Christ was born, God seemed distant to so many people. At His birth, prophecy was fulfilled - the words became real, real flesh and real divinity. It's meaningful to me that the first group of people to receive the news of this universe-changing birth was those shepheres on the hillside. The King of Kings was showing that He had come for all people, from the lowliest to the mightiest. Today we know that He came and conquered everything that separated us from Him. Revelations 1:6 tells us that Christ made us "kings and priests." When you feel lowly like the shepherds, remember to whom Christ first heralded His arrival.
