Scripture to Read: John 1:1-14
Many people in our world today still doubt whether Jesus is God in the flesh, the One True Messiah, the King of all kings, and the Lord of all lords. As we read John 1:1-14 today, God clearly tells us that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.” Jesus Christ is “the Word.” We know this because God had John write it again in Revelation 19:13, “He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” Another Name for our Lord Jesus Christ is “The Word of God.” Christ has always been, as we see in John 1:2. Christ was not created by God the Father, but Christ has always existed with the Father. Christ is our Creator, for everything came into being through Christ. God had Paul repeat this, that Christ is Creator, in Colossians 1:16-17. To know that Christ is God is the foundation of our faith. If Christ were just “a god” and not “The God” then His sacrifice on the cross would carry no weight at all. Christ would just be another martyr who died for a cause. As we celebrate Christ, be sure and share His story with others for He changes everything.
