The Word Becomes Flesh

December 21, 2025 • Devon Accardi • Luke 2:1-21

This Sunday, Devon reflects on the birth of Jesus as the long-awaited fulfillment of God’s promises. This passage invites us to zoom out and see Christmas not as an isolated moment, but as the culmination of a story God has been unfolding since the very beginning of creation. After centuries of waiting and even four hundred years of silence, God enters the world quietly, not with spectacle, but as a newborn child laid in a manger. The incarnation reveals a God who does not merely visit humanity, but takes on flesh, dwells among us, and stays with us in our weakness, suffering, and pain. Jesus becomes fully human so that He might truly rescue us, sympathize with us, and ultimately give His life in our place. The birth of Christ is not only the beginning of the story, but the first movement toward the cross and resurrection, where salvation is secured. Christmas reminds us that God has come near, kept His promises, and made a way for us to belong to Him forever.
