The Word became flesh

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.- John 1.14

The Word became flesh. The Word, the very essence of God became a man to dwell among us. It is clear that that this speaks of Jesus and He was full of God’s glory even as He lived as a man. Jesus did not grasp at His godness but became and man and took on the form of a servant.

Why would He do that? He became flesh so that He could pay the price for our sin. A perfect sacrifice was required and none of us are perfect so only Jesus could meet the standard and to do so He had to take on human flesh. He came to be the pioneer of our salvation. He came so that we could grasp that He knows what it is like to suffer trials and temptation. He came not only to deliver us, but to make intercession with God and mediate with Him on our behalf. He came to give us the confidence to enter in to God’s throne room with our needs and our requests.

As amazing as all that is there is more. The words was full of grace and truth. And that word grace will change everything!
