And the Word was made 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

Jesus is what God wants to say. It wasn’t a message in a book, a dream, or something only a few people could see on a mountain. No, God’s message came in the form of a living person. The message from God came to us and lived with us. He went through our troubles, got our dirt between his toes, felt our disappointments, fought against our temptations, took our betrayals, and shed our blood. But in our world, God’s message brought us more than just the truth. By God’s grace, it saved us from death.

Prayer

Thank you, All-Powerful God, for speaking through your prophets in the past. Thank you for giving us your Bible through godly men. Thanks for how the convicting work of the Holy Spirit makes the preaching of your Word powerful today. May you tell me the truth about each of these things. Most of all, Father, I praise you for how clear, deep, and easy to understand your message is in Jesus. Because of Jesus, I know that you love me, that you’ve forgiven me, and that we’ll be together in heaven. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, and I hope that my gratitude shows in the way I live my life. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
