“And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
God
became [human] that [we] might learn to live in a Godlike way. He took residence on the earth that earth
might be more like heaven. He showed us
in His own Son that flesh need not be a devilish thing, but full of grace and
truth.
This
historic event is the symbol of a process.
It is ever God's purpose that the Word shall be made flesh, that the
physical shall be filled with His glory, that truth shall connect with life,
that virtue shall get into action and conduct, that the world shall be a
continual incarnation of spiritual forces in human form. God writes His truth not in flaming letters
on the sky, nor does He cast them in bronze or chisel them in marble for the
guidance of the race. He writes His
truth in human life.
