Oh Humble King.
The ultimate scandal - the Creator condescends, stooping to be a man, to bear upon Himself all of our brokenness, distress and pain. The only man to deserve no punishment bears the brunt of all mankind's evil. He comes, unassuming, showing us a Way to live and love, and redeems us from ourselves, paying the ultimate cost. Losing Himself, he gains us; losing ourselves, we gain Him. So that to live is Christ, and to die is gain. The topsy-turvy economy of the Kingdom.
You came and served, spent and poured out yourself for us, reserving none for your own. You healed, and gave life, walked on water and caused the blind to see and hearts to open. You gave hope to the hopeless, grace to the guilty, terror to those who control, manipulate and deceive. You were the hero, who broke through our walls to save us from ourselves.

1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being through Him,
and apart from Him nothing came into being
that has come into being.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
9 There was the true Light which,
coming into the world,
enlightens every man.
10 He was in the world,
and the world was made through Him,
and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own,
and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him,
to them He gave the right to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name,
13 who were born,
not of blood nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh,
and dwelt among us,
and we saw His glory,
glory as of the only begotten from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
16 From the fullness of his grace
we have all received one blessing after another.
17 For the law was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has ever seen God,
but God the One and Only,
who is at the Father's side,
has made him known.
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
