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

John 1:14 uses the term 'tabernacled' to express that Jesus dwelt among us, which reflects the Old Testament imagery of the tabernacle wherein God’s presence was made known among His people. Just as the tabernacle was a place where God met Israel, Christ is the ultimate revelation of God’s presence. He came not just to dwell physically with humanity, but to make known the glory of God through His life, teaching, and sacrificial death. In doing so, He emphasizes that fellowship with God is not only possible but is fully realized in Him.
