God With Us - For Us - In Us

John 1 [selected] KJV
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.
11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.
12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Isaiah 52 NIV

The Suffering and Glory of the Servant

13 See, My servant will act wisely ;

He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
14 Just as there were many who were appalled at Him—

His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man

and His form marred beyond human likeness—
15 so will He sprinkle many nations,

and kings will shut their mouths because of Him.

For what they were not told, they will see,

and what they have not heard, they will understand. [all emphasis added]
