Each time I read John 1:14, I always see the word "dwelt" as tabernacled and my heart leaps. I savor the idea of God coming to pitch a tent with us, as pitching a tent is such a convivial sort of thing to do, telling someone that you will spend time with them. But also there is the idea of the tabernacle being the portable sanctuary of God, the idea God was once again plucking down the holy of holies amongst man. Suddenly, the name "Emmanuel," the name "God with Us," has new meaning for me!
I am Yours, Lord. Save me!
