God is the creator of everyone and everything. There is nothing made that was not made by him. He is the source of all things. And John tells us that the Word - Christ the Son - is the Creator God. They are one in the same. All the glory that is due God Almighty - that makes Paul exult in singing, "From him and to him and through him are all things! To him be glory forever!" - also belongs to Christ the Word!
Do we exult in Christ this way? Do we comprehend his majesty? It is good and right that we remember Christ as friend - as a close companion in times of struggle. He is near like a brother. But let us not allow his familiarity to cause us to forget his glory! If we really want to behold the wonder of the Incarnation - the mystery of the Word made flesh - we must begin by being awestruck at the matchless glory of the Eternal Word!
