And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth….From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.
John 1:14, 16-18
God is love, faith is love in action, Jesus is that Word of Love made flesh, embodied in a life: building grace, teaching love, and opening us to new life.
The fullness of God became flesh and in this we see that love is so much more than a Word and life is so much more than what we have, what we eat and what we drink. We are connected, all, joined both in Spirit and by sinew, together, to the one through whom all things were made. The truth of our lives, of who we are as people and creatures is revealed when our Creator becomes part of the Creation. Who we are is joined in a love that acts.
