Christmas Day

John 1:1-18

Merry Christmas! God become man in Jesus!

“We believe, teach, and confess that the Son of God, although from

eternity He has been a particular, distinct, entire divine person, and thus,

with the Father and the Holy Ghost, true, essential, perfect God,

nevertheless, in the fulness of time assumed also human nature into the

unity of His person, not in such a way that there now are two persons or

two Christs, but that Christ Jesus is now in one person at the same time

true, eternal God, born of the Father from eternity, and a true man, born of the most blessed Virgin

Mary, as it is written Rom. 9:5: Of whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is over all,

God blessed forever.”
