Read John 1:10-18
10 The
Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world
did not recognize him. 11He came to his own country, but his own
people did not receive him. 12Some, however, did receive him and
believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God’s children. 13They
did not become God’s children by natural means, that is, by being born as the
children of a human father; God himself was their Father.
14 The
Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw
his glory, the glory which he received as the Father’s only Son.
15 John
spoke about him. He cried out, “This is the one I was talking about when I
said, ‘He comes after me, but he is greater than I am, because he existed before
I was born.’ ”
16 Out
of the fullness of his grace he has blessed us all, giving us one blessing
after another. 17God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth
came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God. The only Son,
who is the same as God and is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.
Think
In Jesus we see God.
What is God like? God is like
Jesus. How will God welcome a sinner
like me? The way Jesus welcomes sinners
like you…
Jesus has made it much easier for us to understand who God
is and how he would respond to us.
Pray
Thank you for showing yourself to me Jesus. Help me to remember what you are like.
