The Word Became Flesh
  • The Word became flesh and lived among us for a while and we beheld his glory. ''John 1:14''

    That word ?lived among us? is an interesting word. John is the only one to use it. It`s the Greek word ?skenoo? and comes from the word ?to pitch a tent, ? from the Greek word for ?tent.? It`s from the Old Testament, from the Greek version of the Old Testament story about God and the Tabernacle. Jesus came in and ?pitched a tent?,and ?tabernacled? among us. In going from the Tabernacle to Jesus, it`s like God has taken His next step in this idea,and we beheld His glory.

    This passage has been quoted in the movies, famous speeches and in books of quotes. What does it mean to say: The Word Became Flesh?
    The Word became flesh and lived among us. That very person who was in the beginning - who was with God- and who was God, in the fullness of time became flesh- became incarnated by the power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the virgin.

    As humans we need tangible proof. And having Jesus here gave us someone we could see, hear, ask and listen to, instead of God who was silent to the masses.

    Why was sending Jesus to live on earth such an effective way for God to tell people about Himself?
    Father this morning at Mass said that in this way the salvation came not from the outside of us but from the inside of humanity - the Word descending from the Heavens into us humans. . In him was life, and the life was the light of men . God created everything and when we accept the Lord in us we are re born created anew first of all in Baptism when we are cleansed of the original sin but also I feel as maturity and awareness gradually increasing we accept Him in our lives more and more consciously and actively: living with Christ, in Christ and for Christ. God is also inside ourselves guiding and feeding us from within - Saint Therese Interior Castle comes to mind. God came to dwell in us and we are called to start an interior journey to look for Him inside our souls. It`s the light that illumines first our life the darkness of our interior desert - without Him we are dry and cannot bear fruit ''that is the water He offers us- Grace and Truth'' - and is the light we are called to let shine for everyone to light their lights, the light that cannot be kept hidden inside us: we are the stand and we stand on that light. nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God: he took our fleshy form and took on our sins without sinning himself and living a shiningly righteous way showing us the path he then lost that fleshly life killing the sinfulness to leave us as an inheritance ''double meaning of will'' the kingdom of his/our Father.

    John`s Biography of Jesus - The Word Became Flesh
    John tells us that Jesus is the SON of GOD showing us that through HIM that we can be like Jesus & pray to the Father in Heaven about our pain in our souls. We can be for given for any bad deeds upon us & we can be Born-Again in Water & in Spirit to be a Child of GOD. Jesus is the perfect man in this world & died for everyone in the past, present, & future generations. Jesus poured out His Soul & Blood in order to become saved & get a second chance to live. healing is the best remedy for our lives, if you pray to jesus everyday in your own words to prevent from sinning.

    Omnipotent God
    I believe that this explanation of the Word becoming flesh is an especially powerful and poetic way to describe Jesus.  When I hear this, I think about God's words coming into being as a person: full of perfection, grace, humility, and purpose.  This also reminds me that Jesus present at Creation and reminds me of the We discussed in Genesis.  Furthermore, I believe that God understood the difficulties that humans would have attempting to comprehend what they could not see.  In God's infinite wisdom, he sent us His character in the flesh to serve as a living example.  Remember, God spoke to the people and they still made an image; God provided a way out of Egypt, but the people still did not believe.  God understands that humans are limited in their understanding of things that are not tangible.

    The Word Became Flesh

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
    All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
    He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
    But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw His glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’”
    And of His fullness we all received grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
