"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God.... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us."
Jesus is the Word. Everything that was created was because of the Word. Christ became flesh and made his dwelling among us-- Emmanuel. I find it interesting that this passage specifically says among US. It doesn't say among them it says among us. Jesus is still the incarnate Christ, who intentionally made his dwelling among us. "He did not come into the world to condemn it but to save it" (John 3:17 but I get ahead of myself).
The Christ who was present, although in a different way, in the Old Testament, who became incarnate in the New Testament still lives among us, in us and through us.
