"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." Jn. 1:14.

Look at the "dwelt among us." Do we really understand that? Do we really get it, in our hearts? God came "down" and "dwelt among us." The word "dwelt' there means "to tent, or encamp." I've used the analogy before that it's like God moved into our town. I live within a few blocks of the Hanson's home (that's a big deal if you're a 14 year old girl, who likes their music). I talked to a girl once who thought that was pretty impressive. But do we think it's impressive that God came to dwell amoung us? That he came to live right here with us? That it didn't just happen 2000 years ago in Palestine, but that he lives right here with us today?
