John 1:14 says: "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." (ESV) The Incarnation, that God became Man, is astounding beyond words! Where it says, "He dwelt among us" comes from a Greek word that essentially says that God "pitched His tent with us!" Christ Jesus has come to camp in our campground! His transcendent glory gave way to His loving immanent presence! But why did He come? Jesus' Incarnation brought about our justification, our sanctification, and our promised glorification! Jesus' Incarnation brought about our redemption, our emancipation, our reconciliation, our salvation, our adoption, and our future resurrections! And what might we say about all this? Gloria in excelsis Deo! Glory to God in the highest!
