John 1:1-5, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.”
The Bible (written word of God) is telling us more about the person we call Jesus Christ who is the incarnate Word of God (human form; person)! The Word made everything to be created. This person was in the mouth of God and God Himself! Because of Him we get life!
In Genesis Chapter 1 God created the heavens and the earth. There was only darkness until God said, “Let there be light.” The light was bright with the power of God and overwhelmed the darkness.
Jesus is the Word of God! Jesus was with God in the beginning! Jesus is God!
Moreover, before the beginning, Jesus was there! Nothing could have been done if Jesus were not there! When you invite Jesus into your life, you invite God Himself! He brings life and light! When we miss to understand Jesus, we miss everything about God! We cannot believe in someone you don’t know! To know Jesus will help you to build your trust in Him!
Matthew 1:23, “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
John 1:14, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Isaiah the prophet prophesied about 700 years before Jesus was born how this would happen in Israel. NOW God is with us. In the form of a human being God has come down to us! So as to restore the relationship we lost through the first man, Adam!
The glory of God, full of abundant grace and truth! It is because of the grace of God we are alive today! We lack nothing. We are not seeking anything else so that we can please God. When we receive Jesus, we are pleasing God. God will see you as righteous! You will see the goodness and love of God in Jesus! Everything we need and are looking for; healing, prosperity, salvation, deliverance, is in Jesus!
It’s just for you to receive; God has already given the invitation.
When you read and believe the word, it becomes alive in you! It’s a living Word because it is the power of God coming from the mouth of God! God just speaks and it happens!
By the Spirit of God, John is given revelation of what happened in the beginning of creation and even before creation! Jesus is very important in heaven and in earth! We need to know and understand Him!
Hebrews 1:3, “who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had]by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,”
When it is bright, you can see more clearer; Jesus is the express image of God in the flesh. Jesus the Son mirrors the Father perfectly! Jesus is opening our eyes to see who God is! Jesus is showing Himself as God here with us!
John 14:9, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father…”
People still seek God, but some are guessing. Maybe the sun is God or the moon or a statue. Thinking where is God? But God has come from heaven to reveal Himself through Jesus! As the first apostles who walked with Him, we too can know God through Jesus!
The power of God is demonstrated in Jesus who went about doing miracles, signs, and wonders! The same power that created the world; the power that gave life! God wants us to know Him personally through Jesus! If you preach Jesus, He is the Gospel! God’s grace, forgiveness, love, mercy, salvation, deliverance is all the gospel! Any other preaching of the gospel without Jesus has no meaning!
Before Jesus there was a lot of traditions such as only priests allowed access into the holy of holies once per year for sin offerings! When Jesus was resurrected, the veil was torn (Matthew 27:51, “the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom…”) “The veil being torn in two speaks of the body of Jesus Christ being broken on our behalf to make access to Him possible. It literally means that the barrier between us and Him has been removed, and actually made ineffective as a barrier.” Hallelujah!
Jesus went to the Cross and went to the holy of holies with His own blood! He stood before God pleading for our sin and our wrong doing! He is the sacrifice; the offering for us!! WE NOW HAVE FREE ACCESS TO GOD THROUGH JESUS!
This is sadly why one can sin all night and the following morning they are jumping up and praising God; nothing happens to them. We owe Jesus a lot! During the times of the law given to the Jews, they would have died immediately! The law given to them was very tough, and bitter. God is not playing! Jesus is a Man that God has given to make us free! God did not do away with the law, but Jesus fulfilled all the requirements by God for us!
God has come for the reason that He wants you! He knows none of us are good enough! He takes you just as you are, but He loves you too much to leave you that way!
Some believe in Jesus but do not have a deep relationship with Him. He wants to know you deeper!
Let’s go deeper!
