The Word did not cease to be God when he became flesh, but when he was made in the likeness of sinful flesh (Rom. 8: 3), which means. of course. that he became a man. he then was both God and man. And dwelt among us. "The origina word describes properly the occupation of a temporary habitation. The tent or tabernacle was easily fixed and easily removed, and hence it furnished a natural term for man’s bodily frame."-(And we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten trout the Father.) The glory of God is such part of his majesty, and power, and grace as men are able to behold. Men saw in Christ such manifests. tions of power, holiness, and grace, and majesty that he had a glory like unto that which men beheld in God the Father. Full of grace and truth.

The meaning here is that no man has ever beheld God with his physical eye, because infinite spirit cannot be the object of human, natur- al vision (Deut. 4: 12). The only be. gotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father. Literally the preposition here is "into," "suggesting the ten- der, intimate relation between child- ren and parents or bosom friends. ‘Christ's relationship to the Father in one of closest fellowship in knowl- edge and love." Christ as the only begotten Son of God, knowing God) as no other being ever could know him, living with God from eternity, dwelling in the very bosom of God's love, is certainly one who can unveil the glory and truth of God the Father. 17.
