First Presbyterian Church Of Baton Rouge

We read one of the most important verses in the Bible: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. The invisible God showed his face. The Creator of the universe pitched a tent among us. He ventured into the world where we live, as one of us. He hung out as a man. The omnipotent One let himself be shackled to the urgent needs of hunger, sleep, washing and even elimination of waste. He only grew to be so tall. He could only make his voice so loud. He only had the ordinary strength of a man. He risked accidents and violence and misunderstandings. He had to learn how to communicate with tone of voice and style of touch. He had to make a living by the sweat of his brow. He had to be tempted to acts of greed, lust, envy or anger. He ventured a life fully like ours.
