The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us

1 Jn 2,18-21; Ps 95,1-2.11-13; Jn 1,1-18.
31 DECEMBER

The Prologue of the Gospel according to John should be placed as an initial thought, as a true hermeneutic and exegetic code, to all the Scriptures, Old and New Testament, to every book of dogmatic, fundamental, moral, ascetic and mystical theology. To every book of philosophy, science, literature, anthropology and psychology. It should be written on the entrance door of every library and book store of this earth. What contradicts in a little or a lot this divine page does not deserve to be read, it is falsehood and a lie. Deception, foul language that pollutes the mind and the heart. Every religion on earth should study and teach it to its followers. Every confession that says it is inspired by the Gospel should make it be learned by heart to every one of its disciples. Christ Jesus is the heart of God, of creation, of heaven and earth, of time and eternity, of the present and future world. Who is in him is in life. Who is outside of Him lacks true life and is often also in death not only of the soul and the spirit, but also of the body. Even the children of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church should engrave it on their foreheads and on their hands so that they never forget it. Thus one does not fall into the temptation of sustaining falsehood and lies with pseudo-reasonings, the work of the mind that dwells in the flesh and never the fruit of the Holy Spirit that governs their soul, their spirit and their heart. The prologue of John is the seal, the amen of God, to all his revelation. Now that the seal has been affixed and the amen has been pronounced with solemnity, no one might add or take away from the truth of Lord Jesus.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. A man named John was sent from God. He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him. But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God. And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth. John testified to him and cried out, saying, “This was he of whom I said, ‘The one who is coming after me ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.'” From his fullness we have all received, grace in place of grace, because while the law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him.

In the Prologue Jesus is revealed and confessed as the Different Eternal, Divine, Supernatural, Human from any man who has come, comes and will come to our earth. He is the Entirely Other. Another one, not even by imagination, might ever exist. There is no God who becomes flesh, who is full of grace and truth, who is the Creator of heaven and earth, who is on earth and lives in the heart of the Father, who is true man and true God, who comes only to give man his truth, through the fullness of his grace, which is the life and the light of the whole creation, which separates darkness from light and good from evil with a clean, precise and exact divine cut. Another God like this has never existed and will never exist. All others are men born of Adam and conceived in sin. Jesus is God from eternity, before the creation of the world. He is the Creator, but he was not the creator. He is the One who makes heaven and earth, but he is not made. He is not even made a man. Every man is made by a man and a woman. Instead he asks the woman for her yes to become a man through the work of the Holy Spirit. Even in his human birth Jesus is different. He is the Different. I cannot comprehend for what devilish caprice today the Christian and, moreover, Catholic is so violent in his will to erase the truth of Jesus from history. Great power of evil.

Mother of God, Angels and Saints, ensure that no Christian fights the truth of Jesus.
