The Gospel of John, Day 4: ch. 1, vv. 14-15

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

By coming to earth, Jesus became something we can see with our own eyes, we perceive the glory of the father.  He lived among us, and gave us grace and truth.  The truth about who we are and who he is is scary, we love darkness, but Jesus also came with grace, so that we can be united to him and abide with him. That alone is glorious.

15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”)

John saw the glory of Jesus with his own eyes.  Jesus was greater than John.  Jesus existed before John.
