THE WORD MADE FLESH
International Sunday School Lesson
For January 5
Golden Text: "No one has ever
seen God; the only Son, who is in the
bosom of the Father, he has made
him known." John 1:18.
Lesson Text: John 1:1-18.
Before undertaking our study of
John's Gospel, we should consider a
few important facts in its connection.
This gospel is considered by many
scholars as the greatest of the four
gospels. Its language is simple but
its meaning is most profound.
The author is one who was so fa
miliar with the Jewish faith and
ideas and customs that he must have
been a Jew, and so conversant with
the details he discusses that he must
have been an eye witness of the
events themselves. He was the
Apostle John, the son of Zebedee, the
brother of James, the beloved disciple
of Jesus.
John definitely states his purpose

other signs therefore did Jesus Ih the
presence of his disciples, which are
not written in this book, but these are
written that ye may believe that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,
and that believing ye may have life
in his name."
Its purpose was to emphasize the
dual-personality of Christ his div
inity and his humanity by telling of
the "signs" and manifestations during
his life on earth which bore evidence
to his unique personality. John want
ed to awaken faith in Jesus as the
long-awaited Christ, the Son of God,
and also so to strengthen the faith of
believers in Christ that they too may
have life in his name spiritual life,
a life of constant communion with
God.
In order to show that Jesus was
the Incarnate God, John uses the
Greek word Logos- (Word), in refer
ring to Jesus. As used in John's day
by both Jews and gentiles. Logos
meant the Eternal God is seeking al- j
ways to reveal himself to men and
that self-surrender is essential to this
revelation.
Gaius Glenn Atkins says the devout
"believe that it began in the begin
ning" beyond which there is no dale
at all: always "the Word was with
God and the Word was God," which is
only another way of saying that God
has always been seeking to reveal
himself to his children and speak to
them in a language they could under
stand. John seeks to convey Jhe idea in
the prologue to his gospel that it was
through Jesus that God revealed him
self to men Christ was the full and
complete thought (Word of God ut
tered once and for all and expressing
the wry soul of God. John's sole
purpose in writing his cospel is to
prove to the world that Jesus is the
Incarnate Logos.
"We put into words what we want
others to know of ourselves, our
thoughts, our dreams, our hopes and
our purposes, and what others want
us to know of themselves, they also
put into words; and so, by the magic
of lauirir.ig', there is established a
::iuti.al understanding between us. So
in the fourth gospel the word Logos
stands for the self-revelation of
in writing his gospel in verses 30 and
God's love and purpose for his chil-
Avan -Toaua Pbriflt. in the Word of
God, making real among us God'si
saving love, and he was of the nature
of God ih the beginning." Gaius
Glenn Atkins. I
Therefore, if God was Incarnate in
Jesus and Jesus was human as well ,
as divine, then God may become in
carnate in you and me. If we will let
him, God can come into our. lives, too,
strengthening us and helping us to
live unselfishly and faithfully even as
Jesus did.
Our bodies may really become the
temples of the living God, wholly
dedicated to him and to his service,
if we are surrendered unto him. For
"as many as received him, to them
gave he the right to become the
children of God, even to them that
believe on his name."
