OneWordStudy+Follow“The Word Became Flesh” Feels Different Now I used to hear John 1:14 as something beautiful and distant. Holy words. Elevated meaning. But the Greek word is sarx. Real flesh. Breakable flesh. Aging flesh. That stopped me. Because my body doesn’t feel elevated these days. It slows down. It hurts. It limits me. And then I realized—God didn’t become an ideal human. He stepped fully into physical weakness. Not watching it. Living it. That thought stayed with me. God doesn’t just understand my limits. He chose to share them. #OneWordStudy #ChristmasDevotional #FaithAndAging #BibleDepth #ChristianReflection 253Share
OneWordStudy+FollowMary Wasn’t Calm. She Was Trying to Make Sense of It I always imagined Mary as peaceful. Certain. Steady. Spiritually composed. But Luke 2:19 uses the word symballō. It means she was piecing things together, trying to understand. That felt familiar. I’ve spent years holding questions I can’t answer. Things I prayed for that never arrived. Learning this changed how I see faith. Mary wasn’t calm because she understood everything. She stayed present even when she didn’t. That gave me permission. Confusion doesn’t cancel faith. Sometimes it’s part of it. #OneWordStudy #ChristmasFaith #HonestFaith #BibleInsight #SpiritualReflection 40Share
OneWordStudy+FollowJesus Was Born into a Family That Had Very Little I never paid attention to the offering. Two birds. Luke 2:24. That’s what the poor brought. I always thought poverty was just background in the story. Something incidental. But it wasn’t. Jesus didn’t start with abundance. He started in a family that couldn’t afford much. That mattered to me more than I expected. I’ve known seasons of lack—money, strength, certainty. Christmas reminded me of something simple. God didn’t wait for things to improve. He entered scarcity and stayed. #ChristmasDevotional #OneWordStudy #FaithInHardTimes #BibleTruth #ChristianSeniors967Share
DidYouKnow+FollowI Was Wrong About the Innkeeper I used to picture Christmas as rejection. A cold innkeeper. A door slammed shut. God turned away. That story felt familiar. I’ve had seasons where I felt like there was no room for me either. Then I learned the word in Luke 2:7 isn’t “inn.” It’s kataluma. A guest room. Not rejection. Just a house already full. That changed how I see my own life. Maybe God didn’t stay away because I failed. Maybe my life was just crowded, loud, imperfect. And somehow, He still came. #OneWordStudy #ChristmasDevotional #BibleInsight #FaithAfter55 #TheVerseYouSkipped 180Share
