One Greek verb in verse 14 ties the whole prologue back to a tent in the wilderness. The Word became flesh and pitched a tent. Today we hear the whole letter.

In this letter

- Logos — the Greek and Hebrew heritage of the Word

- The full walk-through of the prologue

- Verse 14 as the hinge

- Skēnoō — to pitch a tent, to tabernacle (G4637)

- The Hebrew shakhan and Shekinah — the dwelling presence of God

- Doxa — glory (G1391)

- Charis and alētheia — grace and truth

- Charin anti charitos — grace upon grace, grace replacing grace

- Moses, Jesus, law, grace, truth

- Exēgēsato — Jesus as the exegesis of the Father (G1834)

- A direct pastoral landing for those who do not yet see, those who feel distant, and those waiting to receive

Scripture

- John 1:1-18 (full)

- Exodus 33:18-23 (Moses and the glory, referenced)

- John 14:9 (referenced)

Greek word studies

- Logos (λόγος, Strong's G3056) — Word, divine principle, creative utterance

- skēnoō (σκηνόω, G4637) — to pitch a tent, to tabernacle (carried from Wednesday)

- doxa (δόξα, G1391) — glory, visible presence

- charis (χάρις, G5485) — grace

- alētheia (ἀλήθεια, G225) — truth

- monogenēs (μονογενής, G3439) — only begotten, unique

- exēgēsato / exēgeomai (ἐξηγέομαι, G1834) — to explain, to declare, to narrate. The root of the English word exegesis. Jesus as the explanation of the Father.
