“ And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory,

glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth” John

1:14

 “The word became flesh, “John said. In other words, God became

touchable, approachable, and reachable. And not only that, but He was

ordinary. If Christ were here today you probably wouldn’t notice Him as He

walked around Bonita Lakes or sat next to you watching kids play ball at

Phil Harden. He wouldn’t turn heads by the clothes He wore or the car He

drove.

“Just call Me Jesus,” You can almost hear Him say.
He was the kind of guy you’d invite to watch the State-Ole Miss game at

your house. He’d wrestle on the floor with your little brother, doze on your

couch, cook steaks on your grill. He’d laugh at your jokes and tell a few of

his own. When you spoke, he’d listen to you as if He had all of eternity, and

one thing is for sure, you’d invite Him back; because there would be

something about Him, a piece, a power, a presence, something about Him

we all need.

God in the flesh, From Heaven to human. He loved us so much that he gave

up everything to be one of us. When someone does that, isn’t He worth

getting to know just a little bit better?
