Jesus the Word of God

Todays Reading: Mainly John 1:14-18, choose one or more of the following as time allows: 2Peter 1:16-19, Matt. 17:1-7, Col. 2:9,10, Eph3:19-21, 2Peter 1:3,4 or just read these excerpts below:

Look... behold who He is, what He is like and what we have in Him.

"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."
John 1:14

"... we... were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
For He received from God the Father honor and glory
when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory:
'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased..."
2Peter 1:16-19, Matt. 17:1-7

"And of His fullness we have all received,
and grace for grace."
John 1:16

"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
and you are complete in Him,
who is the head of all principality and power."
Col. 2:9,10

"... to know the love, of Christ which passes knowledge;
that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."
Eph. 3:19-21

Fullness: full measure, copiousness, plenitude, fullness and completion.

"His divine power has given us everything we need
for life and godliness, through our knowledge of Him...
He has given us very great and precious promises,
so that through them
you may participate in the divine nature,
and escape corruption in the world caused by evil desires."
2Peter 1:3,4

Lord, I am amazed by You and what You have provided for us. Deepen our understanding of these great truths that we may comprehend in the depth of our hearts the reality of these great words. Strengthen our faith to believe that we may be filled with all the fullness of You and be complete in You.

Love your comments, Sheri!

To know that the omnipotent, omniscient Word of God came in the flesh is too overwhelming to ponder! 'He became one of us so that we may become like Him' is that how the saying goes? We are not serving a little god but a huuuuuge God! PTL!

So true... I think of David saying "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;..." PS 139:6

And he did not understand even a little segment of what was yet to transpire and be revealed in later times. PTL!

Thankfully we will have all of eternity to grasp the wonder of it all.
