“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

Is it just me, or have you noticed it as well? It seems to me that more and more people are saying “Merry Christmas” this year. Personally, I have been sick and tired of this silly political correctness that demands we take Christ out of Christmas and come up with “Happy Holidays.”

Even more endearing to me than simply saying “Merry Christmas” is to say “Blessed Incarnation Day.” I have actually had people stop and ask me, “What holiday is that, Mister?” What a grand opportunity to briefly explain the glorious journey of the Eternal Word becoming flesh and why He made the journey. Whatever you are doing, however busy your life is becoming, never lose sight of the glorious truth that the Word has become flesh. He did this for you!

Think of this often today: How blessed is the incarnation! Christ became flesh for us.
