John 1:14-18

Monday, June 30, 2008

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.'") And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.[John 1:14-18]

"And the Word became flesh..." These are among the most important words found in the Bible. Jesus- God -came down to Earth to walk among us, when He had every right and reason to destroy us because of our evil. It would do us all well to take some time to think about what that really means.
