00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.040
I'm thinking today of John 1, 14, the book of

00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:08.500
John, chapter 1, verse 14, and it says, And the

00:00:08.500 --> 00:00:13.380
Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we

00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:17.899
saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten,

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.420
from the Father, full of grace and truth. God

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:25.359
didn't have to show us anything, but here He

00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:27.679
is, He showed us everything we needed to do,

00:00:27.739 --> 00:00:32.140
everything. that would amaze us. Jesus was the

00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:35.200
word made flesh. I suppose in a sense that means

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.200
he and the Bible are the same, or at least the

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.740
Bible tries to encapsulate everything about Jesus.

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.000
I think it's interesting one point Jesus says,

00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:48.439
he came to fulfill the law. Jesus is, of course,

00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.179
so much more than the written word, as he is

00:00:51.179 --> 00:00:55.039
alive and he was a man. He was full of grace.

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.320
Grace is an undeserved gift. the thing that God

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.039
gave us when we didn't deserve it. He was full

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.700
of grace and truth. Truth is what's right. It

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:09.799
holds true no matter how people tried to twist

00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.280
it, warp it, people tried to deceive. And he

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.239
was the way to victory. They saw him and they

00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:21.799
saw his glory as much as any man can see God's

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.799
glory. And in many cases, they refused him. And

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.500
that's still going on today. But the fact remains

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:32.180
that he became flesh and dwelt among us. And

00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:34.439
he would live in your life if you'd have him.

00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:37.180
I'm so grateful that God is willing to share

00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:39.540
his glory with us. Aren't you?
