Christmas Sermon: What Is This Word?John is saying two things simultaneously in his Prologue (well, two hundred actually, but let’s concentrate on two): first, that the incarnation of the eternal Word is the event for which the whole creation has been on tiptoe all along; second, that the whole creation, and even the carefully prepared people of God themselves, are quite unready for this event. Jew and Gentile alike, hearing this strange Word, are casting anxious glances at one another...Superb... Utterly superb...
This blog is about the New Testament and Early Christianity. Initial thoughts are not final thoughts, and almost everything here is up for discussion...
