And then in John 1:14 we read, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us.” Now for the first time John is talking about Jesus. But even here the reference is to Jesus after He had made the break-through within Himself to the spirit, after He had made the great discovery of the Divinity of Man and had consciously fulfilled Paul’s admonition, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Col. 3:16). Jesus had lifted Himself to the complete consciousness of the Word, and thus, in His mountaintop moments, He was the Word to all intent and purpose.
