John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
“The Word became flesh”.
This is probably one of the most profound realities in the entirety of God’s word.
If we were to try to figure this out with our human minds, it would be impossible to do.
Even with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can only barely begin to comprehend a tiny piece of it. And the fulness of its meaning and its implications is beyond our understanding, no matter how educated we are in matters of Biblical understanding and training.
God is eternal. He does not have a creator. He is the Creator of everything, including you and me. Everything we see is His. Everything.
The Word. How can the word become flesh? After all, a word is just something written or spoken, right?
That’s what our minds would tend to think.
But, you see, we’re not talking about an ordinary word. We’re talking about The Word; Jesus Christ.
Revelation 19:13 (NKJV) 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
Jesus Christ took on human form to be able to come and dwell among us.
The word, dwelt, literally means “to pitch a tabernacle”, or “to live in a tent”.
And so, Jesus pitched His tent among humans, becoming like us for a time, so He could walk with us, experience what we experience, and teach us of God, one on one, face to face.
This in itself is overwhelming to try to fathom. God is pure and holy, yet He chose to come and live with us for a season.
This alone shows His love and compassion for us all. And the price He paid for our sins should “seal the deal” in our hearts and minds, assuring us that He wants only to love us and draw us unto Himself.
Love Him today with your whole heart. And let the reality of His eternal nature and incomprehensible love permeate your being. Amen
