In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God. ... 14 Now the Word became flesh and took up residence among us. We saw his glory - the glory of the one and only, full of grace and truth, who came from the Father. [John 1:1, 14 NET]
(This is part one of two, please come back next week to read the rest.)
If our God is not bigger than our grief, sickness, addiction, depression, anxiety, fear and everything else in our life then it’s time to make Him that big!
God is so big that He was the very Word He spoke, the Word that created the universe. He, as Jesus Christ became a man and lived among men who saw His glory. Because of Jesus’ humanness He kept the law and commandments as a Jewish man. This means that out of 613 laws and 10 commandments Jesus Christ kept every one of them. Only a big God can come down to earth and live as a man while keeping all these laws and commandments.
Jesus healed the sick, delivered people from demonic spirits, turned water to wine, walked on water, raised the dead, fed thousands with little and yet He was in human form! This is a big God, hallelujah! Unfortunately, few have a relationship with this God, Jesus. Many have a relationship with the “friend of sinners” the one they believe allows them to wallow in their worldliness and still get to live eternity with Him. If one is to read their Bible they will see that is not who Jesus was or is, on the contrary Jesus held everyone to a righteous standard.
