I worship and praise Your holy name Lord Jesus for Your wonderful plan of salvation. Thank You, Lord, for sending Jesus, the Word, Who was with the Lord before the world began. He came to earth willingly, in human flesh, so that a sinner such as I may be redeemed by His precious blood on the cross of Calvary. Thank You that You sent Jesus in Your image. Therefore God sent his son Jesus as “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation” (Col 1:15). The more I reflect on the truth of Your Word, the more amazed I become at Your love for me and others. Thank You for rescuing me from the kingdom of darkness and bringing me into Your glorious kingdom of light and forever family. Those who believe are blessed to be a blessing.

It reads in John 1:1-18 EASY> In the beginning, the Word was already there. The Word was with God. The Word was God. He was with God from the beginning. God made all things through the Word. God did not make anything without him. It is the Word that caused everything to live. Because of this, he has brought light to all people. The light shines in the dark, and the dark cannot put out the light. God sent a man to bring his message. His name was John. He came to tell people about the light. God wanted everyone to believe in the one who is the light. John himself was not that light. God sent him to tell people about the light. The true light gives light to every person. That light was now coming into the world. The Word was now in the world. God had made the world through him. But the people in the world did not know who he was. He came to his own place, but his own people did not accept him. Some people did accept him and they believed in him. He gave authority to those people to become God’s children. They did not become God’s children in the usual human way. They were not born because some people wanted to have children. They were not born because of what any man decided. No! They were born from God. The Word became a man. He lived among us. We saw his great glory. He has the glory of the Father’s one true Son. He is full of God’s grace and truth. John told people about the Word. He shouted, ‘This is the man that I told you about. He comes after me. But he is greater than I am. He was already there before I was born.’ The Word is full of everything that we need. We have all received one good thing after another good thing. God gave his Law to us through Moses. But Jesus Christ brought God’s grace and his truth to us. Nobody has ever seen God. But God’s only Son has shown God to us. He is very near to the Father, and he is God.
