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.
Why was sending Jesus to live on earth such an effective way for God to tell people about Himself?
Jesus came to earth to provide a way for us to able to come to God and learn about God. Jesus taught how we can be saved and forgiven thought Him as our intermediate between God and us. By: Cynthia Hinck - January 05, 2008 - Public Category: The Word Became Flesh

My heart fills with warmth when I read these verses. It reminds me of how closely I'm communicating with God when I'm reading my Bible.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men By: Lenora Peterson Evanglist - June 03, 2008 - Public Category: The Word Became Flesh

Without living breathing proof, we would still be worshiping the idea of god's. Jesus was physical proof of the One True God. If we were only visited by Spirit of GOD, too many people would think it was just another god or belief system that someone made up.
Dear God and Gods people. I am a murderer. I pushed my ex-girlfriend into an abortion. I didnt even think about God though I am a Catholic. I went to caticism and a Catholic high school. Im petrified of hell and I killed someone. May I please have advice?
Truthfully,
John L. Bright
John testifys that Jesus was man.Jesus had to become man to save us from our sins. He became (flesh) or he was born for man. As we look at the thorn in the flesh it is like sin to us,but the glory god God will forgive us. With Gods grace we will be forgiven all need to do is trun to him and he will set us free. WE look to Moses who took Gods law from the mount witch was the (Ten Commandments). This is still the law fo God today By: Robert Grinstead - December 27, 2007 - Public Category: The Word Became Flesh
In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with
God. All things were made
through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was
the light of men. The
light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it. There came 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. The true light that enlightens
everyone was coming into the world.
He was in the world,
and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.
He came to his own, and
those who were his own didn't receive him. But as many as received him, to
them he gave the right to become God's children, 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 testified about him. He
cried out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after
me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'" From 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.
