The Word Became Flesh: The Perfect Image Revealed

When humanity lost its reflection of the divine, the world grew dim. The image of God — once radiant in mankind — became blurred by sin and separation. Yet God’s purpose never changed. From the beginning, His desire was to dwell among His creation and reveal Himself fully. And in the fullness of time, that eternal plan was fulfilled: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

In that single verse, God revealed His plan of restoration — the coming of a Redeemer who would crush the power of the deceiver and restore the identity and fellowship humanity had lost.

Their identity flowed from unbroken fellowship with their Creator.
