One Of Us

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
I know that Jesus was a man, just like you and me. (I realize that I'm not a man, but a woman. Jesus was human. Is that better? hahaha) He was sent here by God to do the most important job of all - conquer sin, death, and the devil.
What a wonderful gift. This is why baby Jesus is the greatest Christmas gift of all.

Three In One

...but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
Hebrews 1:2
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - all are one. This is a difficult concept to grasp, and one that I am unable to do with trusting in God. Faith allows me to understand this.
Hebrews 1:2 speaks of the Father and the Son. It tells me that the Father created the world through his Son. I know that my Heavenly Father created the world, so they must be the same.
One for all, and all for one! :)

Bible = God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John 1:1-3
These verses in the book of John seem to come up often in Bible study. They offer a great deal of comfort, and help me to feel strength in my faith.
  • God has always been around.
  • God gave us the Word (a.k.a. the Bible).
  • God speaks to us through the Bible.
  • God is the creator of everything.

Don't we trust those businesses, employees, people who have been around for a long time? After all, they know the history. They have seen what works, what doesn't work, what has been tried, etc.

God is the one we should trust most of all. He has been around the longest of all. He created us. He will never abandon us.

WWJD has been a very popular slogan. Maybe we should ask remind ourselves L4G - Live For God. Each and every day is full of blessings from Him.
