John 1:14-17

The very Word of God made flesh because God loved us so much that He could not leave us to our own destruction. The Father made a way where none existed for us to come home to His truth and grace through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. Even then He did not leave us alone here on earth but gave us His Holy Spirit to dwell with us in our hearts. What a glorious God we serve!


God became human. As God manifested His glory in the tabernacle, so Jesus displayed His divine presence before the apostles. All who trust Christ are born of God. In the Gospel of John, these “born ones” are called children of God , but Jesus Christ is the unique Son of God. He is the only Son who is fully God. He is also full of grace and truth. When God revealed Himself to Moses, He proclaimed Himself to be “abounding in goodness and truth”. As applied to Jesus Christ, this phrase marks Him as the author of perfect redemption and perfect revelation.

John 1:14-17

14 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.

15 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.’ ”

16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.
