2 Nevin’s assessment is spot-on. God entered the world in and as the man Jesus Christ, such that

the meaning of God, man, and the world— the meaning of the Creator, the human creature, and

all creation— is given full and final, concrete and definitive, expression in him. Scripture testifies

that the fullness of deity dwells bodily in the man Jesus Christ; that he is the visible image of the

invisible God; that all things were created by, though, and for him; and that in him all things hold

together, so that in everything he might be preeminent (Col. 1: 15– 18; 2: 9). The incarnation of

God, therefore, is the supreme mystery at the center of our Christian confession, and no less at

the center of all reality. Consequently, all conceptions of reality that fail to see and savor that all

things hold together in Christ, and that he is preeminent in all things, can never be anything but

abstract conceptions of virtual realities— that is, invariably hollow and ultimately vacuous

concepts pulled away from reality.

IN THE DARK OF NIGHT,

A LIGHT SO BRIGHT WAS A SIGN TO THE WORLD

SIGNS TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king,

wise men came from the east to Jerusalem, 2

saying, “Where is He who was born

King of the Jews?

For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

Matthew 1
