“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
Advent comes from the Latin word adventus and significates: “arrival, dawn”. This etymology makes coming out the real power of these 4 Sundays of December, what means, the holy coming of Christ on earth.
“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
It reveals the fleshly coming of the Kind of heaven. It inaugurates the accomplishment of the more than 300 prophecies concerning the Messiah who comes to save humanity by his humility. It demonstrates the presence of Adonai in midst of his roving sheep. The Advent insufflates the hope to the hungry and miserable souls. The Advent gives life and sense to faith as the Advent reveals the big revealing of history: God came down to be a man.
“The Advent insufflates the hope to the hungry and miserable souls. The Advent gives life and sense to faith as the Advent reveals the big revealing of history: God came down to be a man.“
Thus, this marvelous word became flesh and is now approachable for you, now at this moment. You can hear it, see it, contemplate it and even touch it!
Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank you for your coming among us. Thank you for your coming on earth. Thank you for your birth. Thank you for your humility. I love you. Amen.
