Good Morning Friends,
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling
among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from
the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
I think that verse is the most astounding message
you will find anywhere. It’s the most astounding message that you can find in
the Bible. Add all the other writings that have ever been done in history and
it's still the most astounding message. God became a man and lived among us!
I don’t have any trouble believing that God
exists and it’s not that astounding. I can’t think of any other explanation for
the world in which we live. The intricate design of the universe and of life
shouts that there is a Creator.
But that God would become a man is truly
astounding.
The
Infinite One took on finite flesh.
The
Timeless One bound Himself in our days and years.
The
Omnipotent One laid aside some of His power to take on weakness.
The
Omniscient One gave up some of His knowledge.
The
Ever-living One took on death.
There’s another truly astounding message a
couple of verses later:
“From the fullness of his grace we have all
received one blessing after another.” (John 1:16)
When God became man, He didn’t do it to
torment or punish us. He did it for one reason: to bless us, to give us His
grace!
Now that’s astounding!
His, by Grace,
Steve
