What does the Incarnation mean to me? What does it mean that Jesus, the Son of God, became flesh and lived among us? I am not sure I have the language for a sufficient answer. Rather, let me borrow these words from the first verse of “O Holy Night.” O holy night, the stars are brightly shining, It is the night of our dear Savior's birth, Long lay the world, in sin and error pining 'til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
