“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... 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...From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.”
What a text for the first Sunday of a new year! .
With broad, powerful strokes of the pen John sets the stage for what is to come, not only in his gospel, but in life itself. .
And the TRUTH is, that God is LOVE.
And the GRACE is, that this if for ALL.
Not just those who know it, accept it, cherish it, believe it. But for ALL - even those who don’t know it, accept it, cherish it or believe it. God loves them too!
Grace is inclusive!“The worst word in the english language is exclusive." Carl Sandberg
