The Word Became Flesh

"The Word became flesh and dwelt among us..."

The pronouncement from the Apostle John (John 1:14), like many others in scripture, can become so familiar that it loses its significance.

The Word of God, part of the "Elohim" that created everything, became something else.

What else?

Some sort of angelic being with supernatural powers?

A mind-reading entity that could discern the very thoughts of men?

A healing potion that eradicated all disease?

A powerful weapon that reached into the spirit realm to annihilate all demonic influence?

No. Flesh. Like us.

And now the same spirit that inhabited the flesh of Jesus inhabits our flesh.

God chose the medium of flesh to present Himself to the world. And the same flesh that carries the supernatural powers of God to discern the thoughts of man, bring all manners of healing, and annihilate demonic influence can be the arms, hands, and mouthpiece of God to touch a lost world, manifesting His love and sharing the good news of His coming.

The Word became flesh and dwelt in Jesus. Now He dwells in us.
