[NFBF-Melbourne] DEVOTION: "AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH"

[Dr. Joyce Taylor]

The Best Word

One of the most powerful verses in Scripture is found in John's gospel:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God."
John 1:1 ESV

As you keep reading, it becomes abundantly clear that the author, inspired
by the Holy Spirit, identifies Jesus Christ as the "Word."

>From the first sentence in the Bible, we learn that, "In the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) Now, John explains, "In
the beginning was the Word." And not only was Jesus there in the beginning,
but "the Word was with God." And not only was the Word with God, but "the
Word was God."

So if Jesus has existed from the beginning, if He was with God, and if He
was God, then that makes Him much more than a good person, a moral teacher,
or even a prophet. 

John claims that Jesus is fully man and fully God. Which seems
ridiculous-unless, of course, it's true.

The truth is, God loved the world so much that He gave up His divine
privileges, was born into human skin, and died a criminal's death-so that
the people He loves could have eternal life. People like you.

Remember: He's not just another name from history, He's the very Creator of
life.

 

John 1:14 "AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONGST US.  100% GOD - 100%
MAN!!!
