The Word Became Flesh and Dwelt Among Us


“We beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Jesus is God, one person of the Trinity. Even though our Bible does not mention the word Trinity, the Bible clearly teaches God is one God, revealed in three persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. In the book of John, Jesus is referred to as “the Word.” He is the essential embodiment of all that God is. Even before time Jesus was with God the Father, and the Holy Ghost; He was a partner with them in all creation. (Colossians 2:9) says, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”

Jesus, throughout the Bible, is revealed as divine. Some of His enemies at the time of His crucifixion even confessed He was Son of God. In (John 10:30) Jesus revealed His relationship with the Father by speaking; “I and My Father are one.” Even though Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He remained sinless. He was as God, and forgave sin, as only God can (Mark 2:7). Jesus performed many miracles; He healed the sick, fed the hungry, cast out demons, and raised the dead.

Jesus was and is like no other, and His being human is a vital part of His special being, fully God and fully man. As He lived here on earth, He felt fatigue, hunger, and thirst. He also felt the emotions of anger, sorrow, grief, and joy. And Jesus experienced death, dying physically. “But [Jesus] made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:7, 8).

Having lived as one of us, Jesus became our High Priest having all mercy on us to give us comfort, understanding, sympathy and strength through His compassion. “For in that He has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted” (Hebrews 2:18).

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...
