Scripture Reading: John 1:18
No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Devotional: Today we await the birth of a baby whose life among us made God known to us.
God among us is a picture that all of history longed for and was fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
God is still God, but we now know God in Christ, because God has chosen to reveal God's Self to us and His ultimate plan for all creation. That revelation is not in law or proclamation or revolution or war. God reveals God's Self most fully and completely in the final episode of the life of the baby we welcome tomorrow.
God dies for us. God is resurrected for us. God ascends to the throne for us and will come again to judge the quick and the dead.
We now know of God's love and God's plan for God's creation. We know that finally God enfleshed will rule this world and will present His Kingdom to the Father.
Tomorrow, we welcome God among us, our Lord, our Savior, our King.
Receive your God with adoration and love and devotion, with faith and trust and obedience and live with God through Christ forever.
Prayer: Come, Lord Jesus.
