The Word Among Us

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.


Christ was wholly man and wholly God!
Definition of wholly:  Entirely; fully
Our menial brain can not fully understand the things of God. This is one of those things that remains a mystery and it belongs to God alone. Christ has the attributes of man and God! He was the acceptable choice for our sin debt there by offering salvation to all men. The Bible records real events as they unfold, given to man through the inspired word of God. We are warned of great judgment if we take away or add to these divine words. The historical records given to man for his use are indeed meant to enlighten, but more so to give an accurate record of God's will for man. These records show what God demands, from in the beginning with the old covenant law to the present day of Christ blood covenant with those who will serve Him.

From the beginning....
1John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched--this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.


Eyewitness accounts....
2 Peter 1:16 We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.


Wholly man....
Philippians 2:7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.


Wholly God....
Galatians 4:4 But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law


Before creation....
John 17:24 "Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

Sinful man's reconciliation with God....
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me


Coming King....
Revelation 19:13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God


Lord most high God, Open eyes to the truth of this precious gift. Let all mankind know that Christ did it all! He is our salvation, provided by You from before the world began! Amen
