Most of us have reduced Jesus to an idea. The prologue insists on the body. The Word became flesh — what difference does that make to how we live?

In this letter

- The temptation to keep Jesus a concept

- Why the body is what makes Him present

- John's old-man witness — we beheld His glory

- The world that did not know Him, and His own who did not receive Him

- Where in our lives we are still keeping Him at arm's length

- The grace of verse 12 — as many as received Him

Scripture

- John 1:10-14

The question to sit with

Where are you keeping the Word at arm's length? Where is He right in front of you, and you are still seeing past Him?
