Christmas
The mystery of Christ, that He sunk Himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding. (Martin Luther, “Father” of the Protestant Reformation)
Because we are unable to understand all that God has done or why, God revealed it in His Word. The Bible uses the word “mystery” to remind us that God has chosen to reveal to us what we could not have known apart from His revelation. The mystery of Christmas is that God came in human flesh to offer us a relationship with Him through personal faith in Jesus.
So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son (John 1:14).
