As we await the 25th of December and the culmination of all our focus on the
grand miracle of the Incarnation of the Son of God, I thought I’d let you read
some of C.S. Lewis’ thoughts on this miracle of miracles:
“No woman ever conceived a
child, no mare a foal, without God. But once, and for a special purpose, He
dispensed with that long line [of generations] which is His instrument: once
His life-giving finger touched a woman without passing through the ages of
interlocked events. Once the great glove of Nature was taken off His hand. His
naked hand touched her. There was of course a unique reason for it. That time
He was creating not simply a man but the Man who was to be Himself: was
creating Man anew; was beginning, at this divine and human point, the New
Creation of all things. The whole soiled and weary universe quivered at this
direct injection of essential life—direct, uncontaminated, not drained through
all the crowded history of Nature.” (from the bookMiracles)
Pause now and marvel at the words
of John 1:14: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We
have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
