Read John 1:1-14
John 1:14 - 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.
One of the most difficult things for some people to believe is that if we say Jesus is God, how could He also be human? Many insist being human would be too humiliating for God.
But we read in John 1:1-14 how the Word, the Messiah, was truly God and yet “the Word became flesh.” This does not mean God had sex with Mary to have a baby with her – even this thought is offensive. Instead, God simply did a miracle in Mary, giving her a child as no other woman in history has ever had a child. The miracle is the same as when God had shaped a man’s body from dirt, breathed into the body’s nose and the body became a living man – Adam. God can, and did in Mary’s case, make a woman pregnant without sex. No other woman has had this happen before or after Mary.
Jesus the Messiah was, and still is, unique. He has always been God and always will be; and at this time in history He took on human flesh so we could see and understand God better.
*What is the greatest miracle God has done in your life?
