For centuries on Christmas Day, the Church has read chapter one of St. John’s Gospel. There, in just a few simple words, Scripture describes the indescribable: “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (John 1:14). The word God had spoken in the Garden, promising to send a Savior who was part of mankind, came true. God himself became flesh and blood—to be born under law, to suffer, and to die that he might redeem us. God came into our broken world to dwell for a time, so that one day we might go to God’s perfect home and dwell for all eternity. 

Unlike the Christmas Eve shepherds, we cannot see Christ with our eyes. Yet still he dwells among us, because he is the Word made flesh. As we listen to the Word today, we truly are hearing the voice of Christ. As we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, we partake of his true body and blood. In Word and sacrament, still today, our Savior dwells among us, feeding our faith, preparing us for our true home. 

The Bible reading for this message is Hebrews 1:1-9.
