In John 1:14, the Bible says, ‘And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.’ Flesh is the God who became Jesus. It is a wide spectrum of classification of what a person goes through in life about his or her experiences; fun, joy, sorrow, pain, success, and failures. It is limitless. Does these experiences make is more than what the Bible has revealed to us?
When we come to God’s word, we don’t make doctrines out of our experiences. We rather align our experiences to the established Word of God. Look at the order in which this word explicitly talks with us: the WORD became flesh and not the converse.
In spiritualizing our experiences, our pulpits are flooded with sermons where flesh has become the WORD. What one feels is not the message of the Bible. What is written is the message to be preached. People can never be edified with a preacher’s experience fit into a revelation. No matter how unexplainable our spiritual experiences may be, no matter how deep the realms we have attained, yet, we should let the WORD shape us. We should measure our thought processes with the written Word of God. Let the Word do the speaking, and may we only give it a voice.
The WORD became flesh; the Word must become flesh; every day, any day, and all of our days.
