5. Incarnation

What was God doing through the Word?
No one has ever seen God; The only God, who is at the Father’s side has made him known. V18

In the Word, God was making himself known. You want to know God? Find out the truth about Jesus Christ? How? Open your heart to God, pray for the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment and read the gospel of John.
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Listen to what John urges upon us: (He wrote in his letter, 1 John 1)

1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.

Jesus Christ, the man, who John and the others met, touched and knew, is the Eternal Word of God. Through him God has openly revealed eternal life. When we come into relationship (fellowship) with him we share that life.
