Devotion 12/24, Thy Word
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
Excerpt from Philip Ware:
“These words are profound… what they mean for us is extraordinary and mind-blowing! Jesus is the Word, the one who was with God in the beginning and was God before there was a beginning (John 1:1-3). Jesus is God’s ultimate and final Word (Hebrews 1:1-3). This Word is the one who turned water to wine, fed the five thousand with only five loaves and two fish, and raised Lazarus from the dead. He made his human appearance on earth when he was born in Bethlehem and placed in a manger by his mother, Mary, but Jesus has always been one with God and always has been God the Son. When Jesus came to us, he was God with us (Matthew 1:23).”
Why do we as believers complicate everything so much? Satan loves for us to try and figure things out on our own knowing of our sinful nature. But our answers are always in His scriptures, in His Word, always!
Father, help me better know your Message, your word in the Scriptures, and your Word in life, Jesus. Please teach me more about you as I pursue Jesus and seek a heart like his for you and your people. May Jesus be my Lord in word, deed, motivation, and worship. I pray I find Truth only in Your Word. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
