The Word became flesh and lived among us for a while and we beheld his glory. ''John 1:14''
That word ?lived among us? is an interesting word. John is the only one to use it. It`s the Greek word ?skenoo? and comes from the word ?to pitch a tent, ? from the Greek word for ?tent.? It`s from the Old Testament, from the Greek version of the Old Testament story about God and the Tabernacle. Jesus came in and ?pitched a tent?,and ?tabernacled? among us. In going from the Tabernacle to Jesus, it`s like God has taken His next step in this idea,and we beheld His glory.

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP OF GOD
GOD loves us so much that He sent HIS only SON down heere to die for our sins. Who do you think that will do such a thing for us ? Who loves us inspite of all of our faults and sins. Who created the heavens and the earth and all the universe but took a small thing such as you and I and care for us whether right or wrong. The friendship that we have with HIM is prescious for HE tells us everything we need to know. All we have to do is stay in HIS word meditate and pray constantly.

And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. By: Chuks Kingsley Category: Love and Friendship of God
