SERIES: 31 REASONS TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS

John 1:14
And the WordÂ becameÂ flesh and dwelt among us, andÂ we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,Â full of grace and truth.

We celebrate Christmas because we celebrate that

Jesus came and tabernacled, ‘pitched His tent’ among us
the disciples and others saw with their human eyes the glory of the Word that was made flesh
the glory of Jesus was full of grace and truth

Thank you Lord for choosing to come down to dwell with us, giving a glimpse of the glory of the Father.
