Who is the Word made flesh in John 1:14?
The Word made flesh in John 1:14 is God the Son, the Christ. The Father and the Spirit never became flesh, but the Son did, dwelt among us, and His glory was beheld as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Les explains that John 1:14 is the clincher: the Word was made flesh. Since God the Father and God the Spirit never became flesh, the One made flesh must be God the Son, Christ. He became flesh, dwelt among us, and His glory was beheld—the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Les also ties this back to Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1, where the Word was with God and was God, and to Colossians 1, where Paul speaks of the Son as the image, the One who can be seen and touched.
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.
