Is 61:10-62:3; Ps 147; Gal 3:23-25, 4:4-7; JOHN 1:1-18
The Word was made flesh & dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory. AMEN.
Annie Dillard wrote in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek: “If creation had been left up to me, I’m sure I wouldn’t have had the imagination or courage to do more than shape a single reasonably sized atom, smooth as a snowball, and let it go at that.” “Tempting,” according to the Synthesis Commentary I often read, “So, when we come to John 1, it is tempting simply to read the verses aloud and let them evoke the proper awe in what they say—since we certainly can’t match them.”
