Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Living Word. And the Word was made 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. John one, fourteen. This is the great verse of the Incarnation, declaring to us that the Creator of all things, the eternal Word of God, actually became a man, being made flesh.
Since this verse and the following verses unequivocally refer to Jesus Christ, there is no legitimate escape from the great truth that the man called Jesus of Nazareth was the great God and Creator, as well as perfect man and redeeming Savior.
Furthermore, he has assumed human flesh forever whilst still remaining fully God. He is Immanuel, God with us. He is not part man and part God, or sometimes man and sometimes God. He is now the God-man, fully and eternally true God and perfect man. man as God created and intended man to be.
When he first became man, he dwelt among us for a while. The word dwelt, however, is actually the Greek word for tabernacled, as in the tabernacle or tent prepared by Moses in the wilderness. The glory of God in Christ dwelled on earth for a time in a body prepared by God. We also beheld his glory, says his beloved disciple John. The Greek word for tabernacle is a cognate word to shakon.
the Hebrew word for dwell. both being related to what has come to be known as the Shekinah Glory cloud that filled the ancient tabernacle. Eventually, when the holy city descends out of heaven to the new earth, then the tabernacle of God will forever be with men, and he will dwell with them, and be their God eternally. Thus, God's living Word is now and always our living Lord. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
