The Great News that Comes in the Flesh
The Great News that Comes in the Flesh
Finding out why this connection exists will further illuminate one of the greatest truths at the heart of Christianity.
One of the words is baw-sar’, meaning news, or good tidings. The other is baw-sawr’, defined as flesh. As hinted at in the transliterated English, the words are very similar in spelling and sound. In fact, in the Aramaic script normally used to write biblical Hebrew, the two words are identical. One can only tell them apart by the vowel markings—which were added by later scribes. (An analogy in English might be the words dear and deer.)
Explanations for how the two—one a very tangible reality, the other a linguistic category—came to be associated with each other vary. One author says that, in ancient Israel, the arrival of good news called for a feast of meat from an animal that had been sacrificed for the occasion. Another explanation is that meat itself is good news because it means a family will not go hungry. The connection may also come from the fact that messengers who brought news were flushed in the face, hence the association with news and flesh, according to one scholar.
However it is explained, the connection between flesh and good news seems undeniable.
In the Old Testament, this connection is not only etymological. It is also reflected in the way that the word flesh is used in some verses.
Consider Psalm 84:3,
My soul yearns and pines
for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and flesh cry out
for the living God.
