1. “The Word became flesh” - John 1:14 a. What does it mean? 1. The Word John 1:1 tells us that “The Word” - existed before anything else - was & is God What is God like? Col. 1:15; Heb.1:3

2. 2. Flesh – a human being What are humans like? 3. Became When Jesus was born:- - Something was added to him. He was God. Now he was also human. - He is still human as well as God

3. b. But that is impossible How can the Creator become a creature? How can the all-knowing, all- powerful become limited? How can the eternal one die? How can the Holy, perfect God die on a Cross?
