Law and Gospel

John 1:17 “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” You and I have to know our Heavenly Father’s expectations to understand our Savior’s fulfillment of those expectations.  We would all be living a horror story were it not for our Savior.  Instead, we live a glory story only because of our Redeemer.  The law condemns each of us.  We need our Savior and we have Him.  How blessed we are!!

The supreme definition of love

John 1:14a “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us…” For you and me to enjoy being the adopted and loved children of God we needed to be perfect before our Heavenly Father.  We need an Advocate and Savior.  We are incapable of representing ourselves.  God demands perfection.  Our perfection is Jesus.  How blessed we are!!  Enjoy your life both now and eternally.

Just imagine the wonderful truth

John 1:12 “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” With a faith in the One and Only true God you and I enjoy the rights as adopted, loved children of our Heavenly Father. You will hear a lot of sentences today but I can guarantee none will come close to the value of John 1:12.  You and I have a comfort, peace and security found nowhere else!! 

The sad truth

John 1:10 “He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.” The Creator of this world is not recognized by the majority of the world.  Wouldn’t you think just the opposite?  How can the created not recognize the Creator?  John recorded this astounding truth.  Fortunately you and I have been blessed with recognizing the truth and are obligated to tell others the truth of creation and its Magnificent Creator.

Light is Great

John 1:5 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” God knows the importance of light.  Without light there is no life.  Can you and I comprehend that?  Without our Savior there is no life.  With our Savior there is life.  That is a simple absolute truth.  How blessed you and I are that we live in light and have a close wonderful relationship with the Light of the world. Have a great weekend.
