And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as a unique, only one of his kind Son, sent from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
What is the quote?
ReplyDeleteOops, I suppose I didn't make it quite clear. The Greek quote is from St. John's gospel, chapter 1 verse 14. It is translated in the smaller print below. Also, the translation is my own, should anyone find it offensive or unclear.
DeletePS: I thought it best encapsulated, in one sentence, the original meaning of Christmas. Think what what one may about it now, this is what the Bible declares to be the original event we now know as Christmas.
