John 1:12-18

12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the
right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent, nor
of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. 14The 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. 15John testifies
concerning him. He cries out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes
after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ “ 16From the fullness of
his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17For the law was given
through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever
seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him
known.

Meditation
1. Read over this passage a few times taking the time to let it sink in. What
strikes me the most in the passage?
2. When it says the “Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us” (v14) ,
 how does that make me feel? What would my life be like if God moved to
my street or shared the workspace with me? How would the environment
of my neighbourhood be different if God had moved in? How might my life
be different?
3. Meditate on these words “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.”
(John1:4-5)

Personal Note:
God is dwelling among us.  It is God's presence and love that enables a ministry to grow.  God reminded me the need to pray and to work with Him.
