Good Morning Everyone!!!! All Praise and Glory to Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Today's Bible Verse: John 1:1-5
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness, and darkness did not overcome it".
In Genesis 1:1 we see "In the beginning", which starts the creation of this universe, and the creation of humanity. In John 1:1 of today's Bible Verse, we see that the "Word was with God", which would suggest a face to face relationship. That would also mean, the "Word" not only indicates a personal relationship, but would imply equal status.
The "Word", Jesus Christ Himself, is an active member in communication with the Father. This then, is a declaration of Christ's deity, since John uses "Word" to refer to Jesus.
In 1:2 neither the Person of Christ, nor his Sonship, come into being at this point. Instead the Father, and the Son, have always been in a loving fellowship with one another.
In 1:3 we see that all things was made through Him. God the Father, created the world through God the Son. All creation was made through Him.
In 1:4 it is interesting to note that "Life", is not said to have been created, but "Life" existed in Christ. We as humans, are dependent on God for life. Our existence, spiritually and physically, depend on God's sustaining power. The Son has life in Himself , from all eternity. The "Life", Jesus Christ is the light of men. As the light, Jesus reveals both sin, and God to us. Further reading into John's gospel, Jesus will say, that "He" is both the "Life" (11:25) and the "Light" (8:12). Death and darkness will flee when Jesus, the "Life" and "Light" enters into our hearts.
In 1:5 we see that Christ, entered this dark world to give it "Spiritual Light". Satan and his forces, resist the light, but they CANNOT STOP its power. In Jesus, we have the "Life", and the "Light", and when we accept Him , we become sons of the light. As the creation of light, was the beginning of the creation, so then when we as believers, receive the "Light", we then, become part of the new creation.
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the sun of righteousness
Light and Life to all He brings
risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by
Born to raise us from the earth
Born to give us a second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new born King"
Heavenly Father, Thank you for giving us the Life, and Light, through Jesus Christ Your Son. May our life's, so shine for You, that others will see Your, light in us.
Amen
"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear
The Lord is the strength of My Life; of whom shall I be
afraid"
Psalms 27:1
"For whoever finds me finds life, and obtains favor from the
Lord"
Proverbs 8:35
Have a God Filled and a Spirit Led Day
Yours in Christ
