The Word became flesh and dwelt among us - John 1:14.
God who was the Word became flesh and dwelt among us that we might live through Him. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God - John 1:1. God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons - Philippians 4:4. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. For You have magnified Your word above all Your name - Psalm 138:2.
The word became flesh and dwelt among us with humility in the appearance of man to save us and redeem us. While we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by His life - Romans 5: 10. Being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross - Philippians 2:6-8.
Let us thank God who became flesh and dwelt among us for us. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins - 1 John 4:10. God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory - 1 Timothy 3:16.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for becoming flesh and dwelling among us for us to live through You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Amen.
