To Live Among Us

Meditations on

Staying In the Grace for Today

To Live Among Us

The Lord says, “Shout and rejoice, O beautiful Jerusalem,

for I am coming to live among you.

Zechariah 2:10 

The Gospel of John proclaims the fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy:

So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. (John 1:14)

Jesus is the Word. When he became human, He was still King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s. He could have retained His royal privilege, but the Apostle Paul tells us,

Though he was God,

    he did not think of equality with God

    as something to cling to.

 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges;

    he took the humble position of a slave

    and was born as a human being.

Philippians 2:6-7 

Our King of Kings, our Lord of Lord’s became one of us. He lived among people like us. He still dwells among us, and within us. Jesus came to be among us for all eternity. Jesus came to befriend sinners.

My Takeaway: How can we stay in God’s grace for today? By keeping our eyes on Jesus, the Holy One who came to live among us. Perhaps our greatest spiritual exercise is to meditate on the reality of the actual presence of Christ with us.

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
