The Word Became Flesh
Poem★★★★“The birth of that little Babe in the stable of the
humble inn at Bethlehem—there is the event. “The Word
became flesh’—there is the doctrine, and the mystery. God
became man. The mystery itself we cannot fathom: of
that we say ‘I seek rather to believe than to reason.’ ”
