And the Word became flesh….
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14 (ESV)
"The glory of the Mediator consisted, not in His wisdom, by which He knew what was in man—nor in His power, to which a material universe rendered homage—but in His grace, in the kindness of His heart, in the complete and perfect benevolence of His character. In this respect, He was the "brightness of His Father's glory." His heart was an overflowing fountain of love, a plenary spring of goodness, which perpetually sent forth streams of grace, to bless a barren and desert world. He is exhibited to us in this character, as the Head of the gospel dispensation, as the Founder of a new order of things, as the Author and Finisher of our faith."
