The Word Has Become Flesh: Christmas Eve Sermon
"The Word Has Become Flesh"
Sermon by The Rev. Brad Landry
December 24, 2024
The irony is that despite our best efforts, words sometimes fail to convey the enormity of God's love brought to life on a scale we can behold. When our words won't quite get at the profound simplicity of it all. We sometimes must break out in song, as did Blessed Simeon, Zechariah, Elizabeth, Mary, and the angelic chorus. When words won't quite capture it. We sometimes must turn to poetry or liturgy or art. Or maybe, like Mary, we simply grow still, treasuring, pondering these things in our hearts. So on this Christmas Eve, dear friends, we proclaim that profound truth. The word has become flesh and dwelt among us. What more is there left to say?
