The prologue of John's Gospel reminds us that Jesus come into our world to fully identify with us at every point of our lives. And not only does Jesus identify with us, he affirms the truth that we are important and belong to God. The question the Evangelist poses is how receptive are we to this potentially life changing affirmation? Do we see ourselves as a "victim" of the world's ever-rating systems? Or do we receive Jesus in joy? The choice is ours to make.
