Show Notes

A five-minute Christian meditation and lectio divina practice on John 1:14, with a reading from Brian Zahnd's Unseen Existences. Day 10 of the Unseen Existences series.

Scripture John 1:14 (NIV) The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Refrain The Word became flesh. This is the greatest wonder.

Quote Brian Zahnd, from Unseen Existences "In that numinous moment I whispered a prayer: God, I want to spend the rest of my life in a constant state of wonder. What happened next was wholly unanticipated. A reply whispered back, This is the greatest wonder of all — the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Hosted on Acast.
