The Word of God.
God spoke His Word and light exploded out of the dark.
God spoke His Word and our earth was filled with life.
God spoke His Word and law was given as a mirror to show His people their soul-dark, their sin-death.
God spoke His Word
and His Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The Word of God.
Sent to us who have walked in darkness to bring us into the grace of His light.
God sent His Word, Himself, in the soft, touchable skin of a baby. His Christmas gift to us.
Joy to the world! The Word has come!
The Word of God.
Light of lights! All gloom dispelling,
Thou didst come to make thy dwelling
Here within our world of sight.
Lord, in pity and in power,
Thou didst in our darkest hour
Rend the clouds and show thy light.
Praise to thee in earth and heaven
Now and evermore be given,
Christ, who art our sun and shield.
Lord, for us thy life thou gavest,
Those who trust in thee thou savest,
All thy mercy stands revealed.
St. Thomas Aquinas

May we worship Him alone, our light, our gift, God’s Word.
