The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.(NIV)
One day as I was going through the scriptures, the Spirit struck me with a Chapter: (John 1) and as I was reading down, I learnt that virtually all bible passages are clues to understanding others. ''In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.(NIV)''
The passage struck me so much that I began to seek for a meaning to the passage(John 1:1)... "in the beginning was the word" this statement is a significance that the word is not just alphabets put together but a FIGURE already existing from the beginning... Then the big question came, "Who Is The Word?" On going through the second statement in verse 1 of the book of John "and the word was with God", it was now clear to me that the word is a figure that dwells with the God... The last statement "and the word was God" proves to us the the word was indeed the God but different from God... So a verse of the bible came to me. Jesus said "I and the Father are one.(John 10:30)"... Since Christ and His Father are one, the word and the father are also one, then the message is clear to us that Christ is the Word of God...
The message we read from the John 1:14.."and the word was made flesh" depicts the first step the Father took to grant salvation to the world through the word in which He used to create it... In summary "For God so loved the world that He gave us the Word(his only begotten son) that who ever believes in it(Him) shall never perish but have eternal life"
