In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:1-5,14 (ESV)
And this is the miracle that Christmas brings - that the same God who authored creation became flesh and lived among us. In Christ is found the very God who made the heavens and the earth in mortal form. Jesus is not just another prophet or deeply spiritual man, but is the God of all creation. Very God of Very God, Very Man of Very Man.
And it is this same God who will later become our redemption, purchasing us from sin and death through His own sacrifice.
No wonder the angels sing. Hallelujah!
