John 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
This is one of the greatest verses of Christmas. This one verse does more than most to explain what Christmas means. the Word...the LOGOS, God lowered Himself to become a man out of love for us...to know us and to free us from our self-caused dreadful destruction.
I heard once that to compare a man becoming an earthworm, in order to save the earthworms of the world is quite ridiculous. The comparison fails dreadfully, for so great is the divide between a HOLY GOD and man, that man to worm is a much closer to the possible.
Consider this verse each time you see some commercial attack on Christmas. remember, the Word became flesh....out of love for you and me....
