Maybe not for me or you, but I have this feeling it is "easy" for some to forget that Jesus was God in the flesh. Not just a good guy, but the human version of God who was both God and Man at the same time.
God is not the type to overlook you. Remember that. In John 1:14 we see it clearly with "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."
"The Word became flesh" breaks down how God became human and was Jesus. "Dwelt among us" shows us how Jesus walked with people and did not just live up on some cloud in the sky. "And we have seen his glory" refers to the physical evidence that shows that it was not some fairy tale told generation after generation, but witnesses seeing the same great things Jesus did. "Glory as of the only Son" tells us that God only had one Son. The S in Son is capitalized to reference that God was in Him. Remember Jesus was half Mary's and half God's. Joseph would be Jesus's step-father so to speak. We have earthly parents while Jesus had one earthly parent. "Full of grace and truth" identifies Jesus's character and his fulfillment of the prophecies.
The next time you think you are having a bad day or think no one cares about you, understand that God came down on earth to walk among us. He didn't do it out of obligation, but out of unconditional love. In that Jesus died for our sins forever uniting us with God if we accept Jesus as being God in the flesh and follow him.

Actually ALL of us are ONE.
ReplyDeleteACT 17:28 ‘In him we live and move and exist.’
It is as some of your poets have said,
‘We too are his children.
The thing is we cannot imagine or gasps the closeness of Jesus and Our God the Father. But There can be only 1 God.
See 24: Matthew 36
"However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.
Mark 13:32
But as for that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Jesus is not the ALL KNOWING GOD the Father.
He can be god the Son. He is at God's right hand.
This truth have to be known. He cannot be equal to the Most high God the Father but the Father and him are one. Like us, we will be one with Christ.
I know it is difficult to swallow. 1 John 4:19 We love because God first loved us. We can fully understand that he wants to unite us to Himself and sin no more.
