Becoming one of us

 ‘… The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.’ (John 1:14)

John 1:1-18 (Year B: Christmas Day)

“Theology is rather a divine life than a divine knowledge. In heaven indeed we shall first seek, and then love; but here on earth we must first love … and we shall then see and perceive and understand” written by Jeremy Taylor (cited in Edward Dowden, 1901 ‘Puritan and Anglican: Studies in Literature)

My Personal Prayer for Christmas

In the beginning was the Word

And the World became flesh

And that flesh became bread;

Which has now become us

Broken for a united world

At peace and returning to the Word

‘Believers are in love, theologians write love-poems and metaphysicians – natural theologians – write criticisms of poetry’ H Root (1962:13)

#JourneyIsaiah

O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel;

you open and no one can shut;

you shut and no one can open:

Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house,

those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
