When the magnificent prose of the Prologue of John (1:1-18) does not work for you, turn to Luke and the nativity story with the infant Jesus. God became flesh and dwelt among us that we might be as innocent as the Christ child. Jesus died not only for our sins but the create a new humanity in himself freed from sin and the effects of sin. One day, at the resurrection of the dead, there will be no more sin, no more pain, no more tears, and no more death.
