The Word
Became flesh
And the man
Became
A living soul
One born
One begotten
Son of God
Son of man
Genesis 2:7
“…and the man became a living soul.”
St. John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh…”
The Word
Became flesh
And the man
Became
A living soul
One born
One begotten
Son of God
Son of man
Genesis 2:7
“…and the man became a living soul.”
St. John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh…”
The soul is eternal
It is not born
And does not die
But can be made
Manifest
And brought
To life
By one who is born
And one who dies
Genesis 2:7
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
A soul is not born
It comes into being
Genesis 1:7
“…and man became a living soul.”
In the beginning
The Word
Became flesh
In the beginning
Man became
A living soul
One was created
One was born
The creator
Became flesh
And the created
Became a living soul
Are we descendants
Of the living soul
Or the flesh
I Corinth 15:45-46
“The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.”
An artist
Brings pictures
To life
And an author
Brings words
To life
They say
A picture
Is worth
A thousand
Words
Imagine what
Bringing a soul
To life
Would be worth
Genesis 2:7
“…and man became a living soul.”

God created man
In his image
But what image was that
The one he formed
Of the dust of the ground
Or the formless
The one who became
A living soul
