In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1)
Jesus Christ is God, eternal, and in eternal relationship with God.
Yet Christ humbled Himself to be born as a baby, giving up His prerogative as God, in order to show us God, and to seek and save that which was lost. (Philippians 2:6-8; Luke 19:10)
Jesus Christ is how God chose to speak to us, after God spoke to us in the prophets. He explained God. (Hebrews 1:2; John 1:8)
Jesus Christ is God in a human body. (John 1:14)
- The fullness of Deity in bodily form. (Colossians 2:9)
- The radiance of Gods glory. (Hebrews 1:3, John 1:14)
- The exact representation of His nature. (Hebrews 1:3)
- The image of the invisible God. (Colossians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 4:4)
When you see Jesus Christ, you see the Father. (John 14:9)
God came seeking us! To save sinners from their sin, judgment and death.
The enormity of this is overwhelming. Almighty God, eternal, creator, judge, humbled Himself to speak to us in tangible, human form. God showed us His nature, His glory, through Jesus Christ.
As we seek God, we have the incomprehensible assurance that God is seeking us. The unfathomable truth in God’s Word, Christ Jesus.

God, I praise You for showing us Yourself in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, The Word of God. I praise You–Father, Son, and Holy Spirit–for revealing Yourself to us. I praise You, Jesus Christ, for explaining the Father to us. The magnitude of Your grace is overwhelming. Thank You that we don’t need to wonder, but that we can be assured You love us, You care for us, You want us with You for eternity. Help us absorb the enormity of Your mercy into our lives, help us share this awesome truth with others, and help us walk in a manner worthy of You.
