In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.


John 1:1, 14

Many people manage their lives by dividing them into compartments. There’s the work compartment, for business, budgets, and sales reports; the family compartment, for marriage, children, and home; and the spiritual compartment, for God, the church, prayer, and eternity.

If you divide your life like that, you will probably feel that God cares about your soul but not about the ups and downs of your marriage. You’ll feel that He is interested in your heart but not in the chaos of your children’s schedules.

Think about this for a moment: the incarnation was God entering the world of noisy kids and pushy parents and strained marriages and messy divorces. “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (1:14). It does not say the Word became spirit. If it did, we would have to limit God’s interest in our lives to the things of the spirit, like prayer and Bible study. But God is interested in every aspect of your life in the flesh - your work, your marriage, and your children.

The incarnation blows apart the compartments you may use to manage your life. When the Word became flesh in Jesus Christ, God was invading the whole of our lives: marriage, chequebook, children, career, everything! When Jesus went to the cross, He died not only to save your soul but to redeem your life. Thank God for that!


What compartments have you divided your life into? Do you truly believe that God cares about each part?
