The Word Became Flesh

 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth - John 1:14.

                    God created everything in the world through His word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made - John 1:1-3. The Word was God and He was sent to the world for our redemption. But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law - Galatians 4:4.

                  God took on the human form and came to dwell among us. He became one of us and underwent everything what we are going through right now. He had the same emotions which we have now. During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears - Hebrews 5:7. Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. Jesus wept - John 11:33, 35.

                    When the Word became flesh, God fully became human and suffered for us. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted - Hebrews 2:18. He is able to help us as He knows everything about us. He loved us so much that He gave His one and only son for us to live. He is with us, in us and for us.                                                 


               

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the word made flesh. We thank You for becoming flesh and redeeming us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
