In his flesh - ע
The ayin ע is simply represents the flesh of Christ, but the doctrine surrounding it is complex and important.
Jesus was holy and love
All of the letters are formed around a square. The upper line represents heavenly things, the lower; earthly. The left side is holiness, the right; grace. The letters are drawn clockwise around the square. The first thing received by men is grace. [1]
With ayin the holiness from the left is mixed with the love from the right. But it misses the right lower corner, unlike the tsadi צ which also joins holiness and grace, but does so at the cross; that point where heaven and earth connect.
During his life he was holy. [2]
And he did not come to judge, and in his interactions with men he gave grace. [3] [4]
