The Word Became Flesh

He walked among us. He gave us the way, the truth, and the life…

John 1:6-18
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Grace. This one word sums up so much of what He did for us. There is such power in grace. It is the all-encompassing idea that regardless of what I have done, God has and will always love me and forgive me. My Heavenly Father loves me.

Jesus came to Earth, and through His blood we have become Sons of God. It was through no earthly manner or human decision that I was made His son. It was grace that came to get me, to save me, to redeem me.

He brought with Him the truth of all things, seen and not seen. He came to lift the weight from our shoulders and replace it with the outpouring of love. His mercy took my burden and carried it away forever. Grace and truth came to us and freed us. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ we are free and saved. #JesusSaves
