Before All Galaxies

Life on the West Side

Go back before time. Before all galaxies. There He is. The spoken word creates all things. Can you see him?
That word became flesh. The incarnate one. The express image of gods glory. Can you see him?
Beyond presents and trees. Beyond ribbons and reindeers.is the true reason for the season. God in the flesh, Majesty in a manger, who came for you.
