JESUS THE ETERNAL WORD 12-04-21

1 010114 Eternity

I was lying in bed thinking about the gift of this day and something popped into my spirit; Jesus is the living word. Let the scripture of the day bless you.

Today’s Prayer

Dear Lord, in the busy “inn” of our lives, is there no place for You? Oh Lord, forgive us for our hurrying, our often smug self-righteousness, with the hundred and one things we have to do! Remind us, especially now, to “center down,” to make room in our hearts for You. Let our only concern be to hear Your voice; our only hurrying, to obey Your will. In the matchless name of Jesus we pray, Amen. 

Let’s eat.

Prologue: Christ, the Eternal Word

John 1:1-18

1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. 6 God sent a man, John the Baptist, 7 to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. 8 John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. 9 The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He came into the very world he created, but the world didn’t recognize him. 11 He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. 14 So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son. 15 John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘Someone is coming after me who is far greater than I am, for he existed long before me.’” 16 From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The Bible is like a telescope. If a man looks through his telescope, then he sees worlds beyond; but if he looks at his telescope, then he does not see anything but that. The Bible is a thing to be looked through, to see that which is beyond. ~Phillips Brooks~
