Good Morning Friends,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through
him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light
of men. … 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 1:1-4;
14)
Have you ever thought about which miracle in
the Bible is the greatest, the most impressive? There are some marvelous
miracles recorded. Perhaps you would say the splitting of the Red Sea when the
Israelites left Egypt. Perhaps Jesus raising Lazarus from death. Perhaps the
resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Perhaps Jesus walking on water or stilling
the storm. Perhaps Jesus taking a little boy’s lunch and feeding a multitude.
Certainly, all of those, and many others, are
very impressive miracles that testify to the power of God. But I don’t consider
any of them the greatest miracle of all time. The miracle I consider the
greatest is the one recorded in the verses above. The greatest miracle is that
God became a man and lived among us, “the Word became flesh.”
It is a miracle of tremendous love. As God in
heaven, Jesus had all power. A God in heaven, Jesus received all the glory. Jesus
gave that up to enter our world because He loved us enough to come save us.
When we could do nothing to come to God, God
came to us! Now that’s a great miracle!
His, by Grace,
Steve
