How do I explain “and dwelt among us”? Jesus dwelt among us. In particular, it was showing it was not just an abstract description, but a reality which the author of John had seen – he was an eyewitness of the things he saw, and so we should believe them.

As Jesus was a man, I have no problem seeing him as someone who could feel, see, hear, smell, taste. None of that requires him to be God who has become man, or to be a literal word who has become flesh rather than a man of flesh who fulfilled the word of God.

But how do you explain “and dwelt among us”? Something tells me that the “word became flesh” is literally flesh that is someone who can feel, who can see, who can hear, smell, taste. The word was God and eventually the word became flesh.
