And the Word was made flesh

John 1:14."And the Word was made 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." How beautiful it is that God would send His only-begotten Son  to dwell among us. He saw the need of a Perfect Sacrifice, because the blood of bulls and of goats can't cleanse the inner man.  Many people made it a ritual to sacrifice, just as many in church today. Blood from an animal sacrifice cannot cleanse them from their sin. Just like back then, many sin today and come to the altar, only to find themselves back in their previous condition. There was no purging of dead works. It only touched the outer-man and not the inner-man. Heb. 10:4."For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins."   So the Word was made flesh, to present Himself as a Blood Sacrifice by putting all sin upon Himself. He did this to show the world His Grace and Truth, and the Glory of The Father. The Word is the Truth, and the Word is Christ. Open the Word of God, and Get to know our Saviour in a greater way. Thank God for His Sacrifice today.
