Jesus is the Word

John 1:1,
"In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God."

LUKE 1:1-4;
JOHN 1:1-18

Jesus was not just a man sent from God, He
was God.
This is the most important statement of the
New Testament.
On this truth hangs all other truths.

If Jesus was only a man, then no matter how
good He was, His life could only provide a
substitute for one other man.
But since He was God, His life was worth
more than every human life since creation.

Indeed it was worth more than the sum total
of the universe that He created.
Any compromise on this point will negate
the work of Christ in our lives.
Jesus was God manifest in the flesh
(1 Timothy 3:16)!
This Almighty God came to dwell in a human
body.
He humbled Himself and took the form of a
servant (Philippians 2:7).
Christ's humanity truly made Him one of us.
He suffered the same temptations and
pressures that we suffer (Hebrews 4:15).

It was His divinity, however, that gave Him
the power to save us to the uttermost
(Hebrews 7:25).

We must never let His humanity blind us to
the fact that Almighty God Himself became
our friend (John 15:13-15).
And we must never let His divinity blind us
to the fact that He knows exactly how we
feel and cares for us.

We must let the Holy Spirit give us a true
revelation of the deity and humanity
of our Lord Jesus Christ throughout
our walk with Him.
