John 1 in verse 14 says,

The Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood.

Let's begin where the earthly ministry of Jesus began in the womb of Mary,

the God of the universe for a time kicked against the wall of that womb. He was born in the poverty of a peasant,

spent his first night in the feed trough of a cow. He didn't have to, did he?

Jesus could have become a voice, a voice in the air. He could have become a message, a message in the night.

He could have become a light, a light in the night. But he became

flesh. Why? Jesus came to be near you. And any concerns you might have about his power and

love were removed from the discussion the moment he became flesh and entered the world.

What a beginning. What an entrance. and what a moment. This is Max

Lakato.
