Word Became Flesh

I wonder sometimes if we look at John 1:14 and kind of miss the amazing import of that fact the the Word, which was with God and was God became flesh. Somehow this person of Jesus Christ was both flesh and God at the same time. I can't even begin to comprehend it. That God would choose to do this just makes me sit in disbelief. I don't understand fully why He did it, but I am thankful that He did. Without the Word becoming flesh, I would not have a relationship with God, my sins would still be held against me and I would be under God's judgment and not under His grace. Join me this week in contemplating how amazing God's love for us is as we think about what His becoming flesh truly means for each of us.
