Alternative Gospel
John 1:1-5,9-14
The Word was made flesh, and lived among us
In the beginning was the Word:
and the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things came to be,
not one thing had its being but through him.
All that came to be had life in him
and that life was the light of men,
a light that shines in the dark,
a light that darkness could not overpower.
The Word was the true light
that enlightens all men;
and he was coming into the world.
He was in the world
that had its being through him,
and the world did not know him.
He came to his own domain
and his own people did not accept him.
But to all who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God,
to all who believe in the name of him
who was born not out of human stock
or urge of the flesh
or will of man
but of God himself.
The Word was made flesh,
he lived among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory that is his as the only Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth.
Reflection
All that came to be had life in him
and that life was the light of men,
a light that shines in the dark,
a light that darkness could not overpower.When Christ came into this world he brought hope and light to the world. Many were lost and confused but his presence brought cheers. Today many are still lost and confused but we can bring light by sharing the word. Will you share the word with those who are lost?
Let us pray
Your beginning in this world started in a stable to show the importance of humility. May we remain humble all the days of our life as we continue to do your will.
Amen
