I delight in language, in the turn of phrase – a new way to say an old thing. But few stories are as eloquently told – with such rich prose – as John (the beloved apostle) tells the story of Christmas:“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
