“In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All
things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into
being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of
all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome
it…
…And the Word became flesh and lived
among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of
grace and truth.” – John 1:1-5, 14
“who, though he was in the
form of God,
did not regard equality with
God
as something to be exploited, but emptied
himself,
taking the form of a slave,
being born
in human likeness.
And being found in human form, he humbled himself
and became
obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross. Therefore God also
highly exalted him
and gave him the name that is
above every name, so that at the name of Jesus
every knee
should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the
earth, and every tongue should confess
that Jesus
Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.”
—Philippians 2:6-11
This year’s art conceptualizes the beautiful mystery of God blending with creation. It is an abstract mixing of power and humility, order and chaos, light and dark. For me, “The Word Made Flesh” could also be described as “God Poured Out.” In Jesus, the grace of God poured into creation like a waterfall of sacrificial love. This Advent season let the mystery pour over you. Allow grace to mix with your life. May the unpredictable Word overflow in you heart.
