The Word
became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory
of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
- John 1:14 (NIV)
Christmas tells us that Jesus came.
But this verse reminds us that He didn’t just arrive—He moved in.
The celebration of Christmas often feels like a visit. A beautiful one, full of warmth and wonder, but still something temporary. Guests come, joy fills the room, and then eventually everyone goes home. Life settles back into normal.
Jesus is not a holiday guest.
When Scripture says He “made His dwelling among us,” it means He chose to live here. To stay. To walk alongside us not just in the glow of Christmas lights, but in the everyday moments that follow—the ordinary, the messy, the quiet.
He came full of grace for our shortcomings and truth to guide our steps. He didn’t just come to be admired from a distance; He came to be known. To share life with us. To remain present long after the manger scene is packed away.
As we approach the end of this year, that truth matters. We don’t step into a new year alone. The same Jesus who entered our world is still dwelling with us now—and will be there when the calendar turns. He did not come just to visit, but to stay. Let's remember that He is present in every ordinary day, filling our lives with grace and truth.
