“And the Word became flesh and dwelt [lit., “tabernacled”] among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)

“God ‘pitched His tent’ among us as a man so we can hear what was previously inaudible (“The Word became flesh,” v.14a), see what was previously invisible (“We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,” v.14b), understand what was previously inexplicable (“No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known,” v.18), and experience what was previously impossible (“From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ,” vv.16-17)!” (Long Story Short, p.145)
