John 1:14 That is the most profound truth of all truth. That’s why we celebrate the birth of Christ, Not because of the physical features of a stable and a manger and a star and a young couple and shepherds and wise men, that’s simply the physical or historical features of the birth of Christ. The real story is the Word became Flesh. “The Word was with God and the Word was God.
The infinite transcendent, all-knowing, all-powerful, all present, everlastingly unchanging eternal God of the universe became a human being. That is the message. Emmanuel, “God with us.”
