 </color> (John 1, 14)
+God became flesh, and lived among us. God wants to be with us, with you and with me. This was true when
+Jesus lived, 2000 years ago. It is also true today, though today he does not live with us by the son
+being a human, but by the Holy Spirit, who comes to all who believe in the Son.
+John talks about the "glory of God". He talks about specific character features of the Son. Grace and
+truth are named here. Grace is action out of free choice, love and friendliness. It is action which is not
+paid for and whose purpose is the well-being of the one who receives grace. Truth means that word and
+reality are in resonance. It means that the intention and purpose of the speech is pure and transparent
+and without any fraud.
+It is good to start the year 2020 with looking to God as the beginning, as the one who is the community
+of the father, the son and the holy spirit. Here, when we turn to God, we find great things, we find
+our origin and our purpose. Let us work out this origin and purpose in the new year!
