“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. ”
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. ”
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” [John 1: 1-2,14, 14:6]
And the Word was God..
In
the beginning was the Word. He did not have a beginning Himself, but
existed from all eternity. As far as the human mind can go back, the
Lord Jesus was there. He never was created.
The
Word was with God. The Word was with God. He had a separate and
distinct personality. He was not just an idea, a thought, but a real
Person who lived with God. The Word was God. He not only dwelt with God,
but He Himself was God. The Bible teaches that there is one God and
that there are three Persons in the Godhead—the Father, the Son, and the
Holy Spirit. All three of these Persons are God.
To
become a child in a physical sense, one must be born. So, also, to
become a child of God, one must have a second birth, or conversion, or
being saved.
The
Word became flesh when Jesus was born as a Baby in the manger at
Bethlehem. He had always existed as the Son of God with the Father in
heaven, but now chose to come into the world in a human body. He dwelt
among us. It was not just a short appearance, about which there might be
some mistake or misunderstanding. God actually came to this earth and
lived here as a Man among men. His body was the tent in which He lived
among men for thirty-three years.
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us..."
“How
will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel
answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most
High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the
Son of God.. [Luke 1:34-35]
" Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veiled in flesh, the Godheadd see;
hail the incarnate Diety
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel
Hark the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King""
