“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 1:14, ESV)  

The Rest of the Story

“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 1:14, ESV)  

 >“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1, ESV) 

John to Genesis 

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1, ESV)  

Three Plot Lines

The Plot of Transcendence

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8–9, ESV)  

The Plot of Immanence

“then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.” (Genesis 2:7–8, ESV)  

“Then the LORD said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings,” (Exodus 3:7, ESV)  

“Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 23:24, ESV)  

The Plot of Concomitance
