The Word Made Flesh

The Word wrapped in flesh, an ancient Word knowing all, having lived all but never before in the confines of flesh. To live in flesh having been only spirit, a new existence prevailed. The flesh grew as living flesh can only do and changed over time from infant to man. Many years spent knowing, spent growing, spent living with others of flesh - others who couldn't know all.

The Word comprehended as those around Him comprehended Him not. For thirty years the Word existed waiting and watching. Thirty years taking part in an earth bound venture. Thirty years gaining intimate knowledge of day to day flesh existence. Thirty years of waking, of sleeping, of eating, of committing all necessary activities of daily flesh life. Thirty years of witnessing- birth, death, anger, heartache, pain, sickness, happiness, marriage, rituals, sacrifices.  Thirty years of mission silence.  Thirty years of preparation. 

For thirty years the Word was raised with those intent on living in the confines of their knowledge given to them by the Word while spirit.  The Word lived His word given long before the Word took on flesh.  Daily prayers, daily rituals, daily duties, daily law abiding- and it was good. There was no law given that the Word found impossible to live in His flesh. Temptations abounded, the Word in flesh was not born into an innocent world. While all around Him succumbed to temptations, He alone of all Flesh sinned not. He witnessed flesh sinning and never sinned. He felt sin's pull without being lured away. His power from His declared Father, the God He was God with- before He took on flesh, was His fortress, His prayer.  God in flesh prayed to God in spirit. The flesh needs to pray. The flesh has a dependency. The flesh is a created thing. Flesh created from dust.  The flesh of the Word was human - dust made flesh and it was mysteriously infused with God declared Son. In joining the dust-flesh, the Word was indeed made flesh with all flesh propensities, with all flesh needs- physically, mentally, spiritually. The Word needed to pray and He prayed to His declared Father. As God with God, the distinction between the two came when one was declared Son the other declared Father.  By decree the Son became the Son, the Word- the Son.  And encumbered by flesh the Word prayed.  In prayer unceasingly- He was ever protected from any lust being conceived and that resulting in sin.
