This means that he did not build a durable castle to remain with us always on earth, but that he dwelt as Bedouins dwell in their tents for a short period of time. Thereafter he takes his tent down and moves it to another place. In the same way, Christ was among us for a short period before going back to his heaven.
Kufuatana na maandishi ya kigireki, Yohana alisisitiza kusema kwamba, „ amepiga hema katikati yetu“. Hii ina maana, hakujenga makao ya kudumu, ili akae nasi hapa duniani daima, bali aishi nasi katika hema kwa muda, kama kabila ya Bedouins jangwani kwa muda mfupi ndipo kuendelea mbele.
