What does it mean that Jesus 'tabernacled' among us?

Answered in 2 sources

When it says Jesus 'tabernacled' among us, it signifies His divine presence among humanity, similar to the Old Testament tabernacle.

The term 'tabernacled' in John 1:14 implies that Jesus lived among us in a way that mirrors the Old Testament tabernacle where God dwelled among His people. Just as the tabernacle was a temporary dwelling place that provided God's presence, guidance, and meeting place with Israel, Jesus represents that ultimate manifestation of God in human form. This presence allows believers to approach God through Christ, who fulfills the roles of mediator and sacrifice, thus making Him central to our worship and relationship with God.
