Has Made Him Known - John 1:14-18

John 1:14-18 ESV 

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.
(John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”)
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

He entered our world so that we might enter His world. No one had ever seen God until Jesus Christ became flesh and dwelt among us. His glory enters creation through our flesh and through our flesh a new creature is born from above, ushering in the beginning of a new creation. 

Jesus Christ is the word of creation Who gave us the law and then gave us grace and truth. It is through grace and truth the word is fulfilled. 
The word is still speaking today and creation is still underway with the birth pangs of the new creation growing stronger and closer together.
