John 1:18a “Noone has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God…” Do we have to understand for something to be true? Explain germination. Explain the perfection of rotation within the universe. Explain the origin of wind. Explain the emotion of love. Explain the comfort and peace of faith. Explain creation. The you and I cannot explain list is endless. The truth is: Jesus is God–His love for you is endless-put your faith in Him-enjoy being His adopted and loved child-you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Have a great weekend.

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!!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

John 1:4 “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind” If we are reading our Bibles and trying to read a chapter a day we can easily miss the tremendous impact of this small sentence. Even as we study and read now—how can we understand its impact? Jesus is life. Jesus is the light of all mankind. We are all so self centered we can easily forget we are much much better off being Jesus centered. Thank God for light–What a fabulous blessing!!

John 1:3 “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” Everything in this world; the universe with its magnificience, the flowers and all plant life with its magnificience, animals on the earth and creatures in the sea with their magnificience and humans with all our intricacies have all been created by the one who loves you and me so much that He humbled Himself, became one of us, cares for each of us and will bring us to Himself in heaven. What an indescribable Savior.

John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Jesus, the Word, is God. The Apostle, the Disciple, John, loved Jesus and recognized Jesus’ authority. The book he wrote is going to express the beauty of John’s and your and my Savior. He also will express the absolute necessity of recognizing Jesus’ role in our temporal and eternal life.

Romans 16:27 “to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen” Life can be confusing, lonely, full of chaos, full of heartache and just generally a downer. Life can be enjoyable, have a solid foundation, orderly, filled with wisdom, just generally good. What makes the difference? A heart filled with this passage makes the difference. What is your and my attitude and relationship with our Heavenly Father—-that is what makes the difference!! Have a great weekend.

Romans 16:26b “…so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith.” It is impossible to lead a Godly life without realizing the grace of the only one true God. Having a close relationship with God is as essential as breath itself. Without breath there is no life. Without knowing God is at your side and you at His side it is impossible to live a secure, contented and peaceful life. Develop a strong and stronger faith.

Romans 16:19b “…but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil.” Your and my purpose in life is to serve our Savior within whatever we do as we live our daily life activities. Are my life choices wise is a question we will continually ask ourselves. Do we remove ourselves from activities which are not in the category of practicing wisdom? Serve your Savior and be abundantly blessed.
