I'm thinking today of John 1, 14, the book of
John, chapter 1, verse 14, and it says, And the
Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we
saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten,
from the Father, full of grace and truth. God
didn't have to show us anything, but here He
is, He showed us everything we needed to do,
everything. that would amaze us. Jesus was the
word made flesh. I suppose in a sense that means
he and the Bible are the same, or at least the
Bible tries to encapsulate everything about Jesus.
I think it's interesting one point Jesus says,
he came to fulfill the law. Jesus is, of course,
so much more than the written word, as he is
alive and he was a man. He was full of grace.
Grace is an undeserved gift. the thing that God
gave us when we didn't deserve it. He was full
of grace and truth. Truth is what's right. It
holds true no matter how people tried to twist
it, warp it, people tried to deceive. And he
was the way to victory. They saw him and they
saw his glory as much as any man can see God's
glory. And in many cases, they refused him. And
that's still going on today. But the fact remains
that he became flesh and dwelt among us. And
he would live in your life if you'd have him.
I'm so grateful that God is willing to share
his glory with us. Aren't you?
