The Word Became Flesh

The word Became Flesh.

John 1:14
[14] 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.

The Greek word for "Word" as used there is "Logos" which means; a transmission of a thought, communication, a word of explanation and most preferably an utterance. So, when the Bible says, and the word Became flesh it's saying, "The utterance of God, The communication of the thought of God became flesh" and so Bible says:
John 1:1
[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Which Gives us a very important revelation - Jesus is the living Logos! Jesus is the word that became flesh. This makes sense because in the third verse of the first chapter of John Bible says:
John 1:3
[3] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Now lets note a few things here.
1) The Word(Logos) is Jesus.
2) All things were created through Him.
3) Without him was nothing created that was created.
That's simple isn't it? Now, Verse Four proceeds to say:
John 1:4
[4] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
So again, we note a few things.
1) Jesus is the Life that sponsored creation.
2) All that God created has life because of Jesus.
3) The light was the life of men.
Let's put these few points to heart, we will get back here.
Now we look at the account of creation.
Genesis 1:1-3
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The light there sure wasn't referring to the sun because a couple of verses after we see the creation of the sun.
Genesis 1:16
[16] And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

So which light was this that God spoke into existence?
This is the same light we see in the book of John. This is the light that was necessary for creation to occur. This was the light that became the life of men! Without which creation could not have occurred! This was the utterance of God! This was the Word of God! This was Jesus!

With That understood, Bible says "The Word Became Flesh".
Why was this necessary?
The fullness of time had come for the redemption and the restoration of man.
Since restoration means the act or process of returning something to its original condition by returning or repairing what was either stolen or lost or destroyed.

It meant that, for restoration to occur man had to first understand what he had lost - The Dominion, The Authority.
And this would go beyond mere explaining to them; they were too rigid a people to have believed that. So, in some way, man had to see what he had lost, and there was nobody that existed during the time of Adam to see the level of authority and Dominion Adam commanded enough to know what he lost. So, no mortal man could communicate this reality and so for this reason, "The word Became Flesh". Note that this reason is only particular to the restorative aspect of Jesus' ministry.

So, through out Jesus's stay on earth he was a physical demonstration of the communication of the intentions and the thoughts of the father per time. For this reason, Jesus declares:
John 6:38
[38] For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And again, for this reason he declares:
John 10:30
[30] I and my Father are one.

Jesus was an expression of the thoughts and the intentions of God, and so in actual terms, he was indeed the word made flesh! Not only in that God became flesh but also in that at every point in time there was someone to give expression to the communications of God!

How does this apply to you?

God's very intention is that you become his:
1) Expression 2) Extension and) continuity
here on earth. So, whilst Jesus sits on the throne in heaven, it becomes your responsibility to give expression to. The voice of God on earth! You therefore have a responsibly of becoming "The Word made Flesh".
In that, per time you become a physical demonstration and an expression of the thoughts of God on earth.

For this reason, Paul writes:
2 Corinthians 3:3
[3] Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

You are an epistle of Christ! An Epistle is a written document.
You're a living written document.
Not written by Men But written by the Holy Spirit!
You are an articulation of the written intensions of God!
You are the medium through which God's word Finds verbalism here on earth!
You are the Word of God becoming Flesh!

Let's get back to the points we listed out from our study of the first chapter of John.

We mentioned, All things were created through The word! Without him was nothing created that was created right? The same ability to create lies within you! You have become the word of God made flesh! In you lies the inherent ability to create with your words!
Hebrews 11:3
[3] Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
You can call the things that be not as though they were, in doing this you're becoming the very expression of the speaking’s of God.
Ephesians 4:29
[29]"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."

In him was the light and the light was the life of men!
In the same manner:
Matthew 5:14,16
[14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

It is when this light shines that God is Glorified!
The word "Let" there is the word "Allow".
Allow your light to shine before men! Allow yourself to be an expression to the communications of God!
This is only for those that are ready to "allow".

Your life can become the scriptures people read! Yes! This is a reality!
People can indeed see a manifestation of Christ in you!
Let something about your life convict people of their sin!
Let your life give a voice to the word of God!
Become the word of God made flesh!
