The second principle is contained in the expression "dwelt among us." It takes us beyond mere understanding to something even more profound: communication.
The original Greek of the phrase quoted above is better translated as "pitched his tent with us". But what does it mean to "pitch your tent" with others? It means that you enter into a relationship with them. In a sense, you become one of them.
This idea of communion, oneness, is hidden in the word communication. When we communicate, we want more than to be understood; we want to be known. True communication is personal. When we put our words hoping to be heard, we are really presenting ourselves and hoping to be known.
