[Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations…from
everlasting to everlasting Psalm
90:1-2
During this season of reflection and renewal, join me, and let's
explore God’s Presence, our dwelling place. Are you dwelling in the presence of
God? ~ Donna Howell Oswalt]
the house to the garage that you have
walked ten thousand times before, even the moments when you cannot believe that
there is a God who speaks at all anywhere.
He speaks, I believe, and the words He
speaks are incarnate in the flesh and blood of ourselves and of our own
footsore and sacred journeys.”
Fredrick Buechner
The Word became
flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the
glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and
truth. John
1:14
In the first chapter of John, Scripture describes the incarnation
of the Word. Jesus, the Word, becomes human and dwells among us. Both fully God and
fully human, Jesus enters the world as the visible manifestation of God, His
perfect love in human form. This unique Father-Son relationship offers a
glimpse of possibility for the Christian. Full
of grace and truth, Jesus pitches His
tent and takes up residence among the people.
Throughout all time, God has chosen to dwell in the midst
His people, but when Jesus enters the world, both visible and tangible, God literally
lives beside His people. Jesus is the Truth that brings Grace because He is the
Perfect Sacrifice for all sins. Image of
the Invisible God, this mystery of You coming to live among the people transcends
intellectual thought. Perfect Love, You reveal the Light that darkness cannot
cover and become the Grace that sin cannot destroy. Count me alive in
Christ. Be born in me! - dho
