And The Word Was Made Flesh

As our words reveal to others our hearts and minds, so Jesus Christ is God's "Word" to reveal His heart and mind to us.

John 1:1-3 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 by him: and without him was not anything made that was made.

14. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us . . . 

By the miracle of the virgin birth, Jesus took on Himself sinless human nature and identified with us in every aspect of life from birth to death. 

"The Word" was not an abstract concept of philosophy, but a real Person who could be seen, touched, and heard. Christianity is Christ, and Christ is God.

Down from His glory, ever living story,

My God and Savior came, and Jesus was His name

Born in a manger, to His own a stranger

A Man of sorrows, tears and agony

O how i love Him, how i adore Him

My breath, my sunshine, my all in all

The great Creator became my Savior

And all God's fullness dwelleth in Him.
