And the Word became flesh and dwelt

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III






"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (Jn. 1: 14). Here the Evangelist is talking about the glory that befits Christ as the Only Son of God.
These are in the Holy Bible which speak about Christ the Lord as the Only Son of the Father and distinguish Him from the rest of mankind, We have spoken in detail about the Divinity of the Son in the previous proof. It suffices that according to the above verses, Christ is the Source of life, everlasting life is through Him, belief in Him delivers from condemnation and judgment, as not believing in Him brings condemnation, and He has the glory befitting the Only Son of God. And the mere belief in Him proves His Divinity as we will explain.
