       John chapter 1, verse 14: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me . ” ) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known” (ESV). In our own awareness of what we think we know, in that awareness Johns confirms that there is no question about it. God the Son came in human flesh, and permanently changed to take on human flesh for the rest of eternity. He said, “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” That’s significant. By John’s time, there were some who proclaimed that Jesus was not in a human body after all.
