Advent Thoughts - Day 1

Today being the first day of December, we are reminded once again of the coming of our Saviour into the world for our redemption and salvation. As John reminds us, He came into the world and ‘became flesh and dwelt among us.’ This becoming flesh, or taking upon himself of the material and physical elements, is rightfully commemorated and cemented in our minds by the physical giving of gifts. As we enjoy the physical pleasures of food and drink that come with this season, and as we give and receive gifts, may we be reminded of the gift we were given. The Word became flesh.
