John 1:29 “The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, ‘Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'” How could John say these words without Jesus being God? He knew the innocent man standing before him had the power to carry the weight of the world’s sins. No mere human could do what our Savior did and John knew that truth. The supreme love our Godhas for each of is comprehendible. Innocence, to live and die and rise for you and me—there is no greater love.

John 1:14 “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.” Jesus, the Word, our Savior, the Creator, the One and Only, the reason for Christmas, the One who is our Advocate, the One who is Love and gives us assurance and confidence–therefore, our Hope, the One who bought us with His blood—He is the One we honor for He has made each of us His child. Yes, each of us both humbly and proudly believe—I am a child of God.

John 1:12 “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God–” I am…………..-you can state your occupation, your net worth, your skin color, your education or you can state the greatest honor given—–that being: I am a child of God. That honor is the most valuable title or description of yourself anyone could give you. Those 6 words carry you through this life and will carry you into your real home in Heaven. If anyone ever asks you—who are you? Your immediate response—-I am a child of God. What an honor! Have a great weekend.

John 1:9 “The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.” On the first day of Creation God created light. What that light was is an interesting yet nonconclusive study. The important fact is: the first thing God created was light. The rest of Creation came after this first and critical need. Your and my most critical need is light–or should the word be spelled Light. Without our Light survival is impossible. John, our author, continually emphasizes Jesus as our Light. He is the One we cannot survive without. Why would we want to walk in darkness when we can enjoy the Light of life?

John 1:6-7 “There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.” John was born to testify as a witness to Light. John knew he had the distinct privilege of introducing Jesus, our beloved Savior, the Light, to the world. Wouldn’t you think John would have enjoyed an elegant life, the most comfortable chariot in his day, food including every delicacy, and honor befitting the one who was introducing Light? Whenever you think of God’s purpose for your life don’t expect a bed of roses. When you represent your Savior do so realizing this earthly life is loaded with thorns–Heaven is our Home.
