From The Beginning

A prominent theologian was about to deliver a lecture on a very difficult subject. He started off by saying, “I feel like a mosquito in a nudist colony. I look around and I know it’s wonderful to be here, but I don’t know where to begin.” We do not have that problem today because we are going to talk about the Incarnation of Christ, and we do know where to begin. We begin by recalling how the great Lord God Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, has from the very beginning of time, among all people and in all places, been acting in a Christly way — acting, as the New Testament says, as the “Christ Spirit.”

“In the beginning was the Word,” says John’s Gospel. And Paul says that “In Him the fullness of Deity dwells bodily.” But having said this, how do we grasp such a mystery as this? No words can adequately describe it.
