The Word Became Flesh and Dwelt Among Us

In the beginning was the word and the word (Jesus) was with God, and the word was God. Don’t try to figure that out with your mind. God is a three in one triune being, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. When Jesus came to earth to be our atonement for sin, He came as a man, stripped of his deity and all His Godhead power before coming to Earth. He was the sacrifice for justice to be satisfied due to mankind’s sin. Jesus is the living word of God. He came to earth to live as a man with all the life struggles we deal with. He got a first hand look at what we experience concerning all the temptations and distractions of this world. He was successful in His ministry on earth, and in hell giving Satan the Holy beat down. Jesus was and is the living word in action. He left an example of how to work God’s word to our advantage, overcoming life’s struggles (Matthew 4:1-11). When Jesus was tempted by the devil, He had been fasting for 40 days, and He didn’t just zap the devil with power from heaven for messing with Him, but used the word of God to ward him off. God has exalted His word above His name because His word is Himself, and His name is a representative of Himself to be used by faithful believers as a weapon against the enemy (Psalm 138:2). Without the living word there would be no earth or creation, yeah He goes that far back (John 1:3-4).
