Day 2 - Jesus Is God With Us
Read: John 1:1-5, 14-18
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
Have you ever thought to yourself, “If God is real, then why doesn’t He just reveal Himself? Why won’t He just speak to us in a loud audible voice saying, ‘Hey, here I am! This is what I’m like!’?” If God would just let us all see Him, then surely everyone would believe. After all it’s really hard for mankind to believe in someone they can’t see or touch.
Guess what? That is exactly what God did! He showed Himself and spoke to us through Jesus Christ.
John 1 presents to us a beautiful idea of who Jesus is. He is the perfect representation of what God the Father is really like. God revealed Himself to His creation, and many still did not believe. In fact, they crucified Him!
Realize today that you serve a God who loves you so much that He took the time to reveal Himself to you through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’”
PRAY: Take time today thanking Him for revealing Himself to us through Jesus Christ.
ACT: Remind yourself that when you tell your one about Jesus, you’re telling them about God. And that is AWESOME news!
