JOHN 1:1

Jesus wasn't just a man sent from God, He was God. John 1:1 is the most important statement in the New Testament. All of the others truths hang on this truth.

If Jesus was only a man, then regardless of how good He was, His life could provide a substitute for only one other man. But, since He was God, His life was worth more than every human since creation. His life was worth more than all of the universe He created.

Any compromise of Jesus' divinity will wipe out His redemptive work in our lives.  He was God manifested in the flesh, 1 Timothy 3:16.

He, God Almighty, came to live in a human body. He humbled Himself and became a servant, Philippians 2:7, and His humanity made Him one of us.

He suffered the same temptations and pressure that we all suffer, Hebrews 4:15. But, it was His divinity that gave Him the power to save us completely, Hebrews 7:25-26.

We must not loose sight of the fact that, Jesus, Almighty God Himself came to be our friend, John 15:13-15.

May the Holy Spirit give us a true revelation of His deity and His humanity all through this New Year!
