Jesus Christ is the Word of God. He is the Beginning. He is also the End
(John 1:1-3; Revelation 21:6). He is 'the Word...made flesh. 'We have seen His
glory' (John 1:14). This is only the beginning. When He returns, we shall see
His glory - 'we shall see Him as He is' (1 John 3:2). From Him, there is
creation (John 1:1-3). From Him, there is salvation (John 1:12-13). In Him, we
receive the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit
(John 1:29,32-34). He is the Word of God, the Lamb of God and the Son of God
(John 1:1,29,34). When we look at Jesus Christ, we see God - 'the Word was God'
(John 1:1), 'No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the bosom of
the Father, He has made Him known' (John 1:18). Do you want to know what God is
like? - Look at Jesus (John 14:9). What do we see when we look at Him? -
'the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world' (John 1:29).
Psalm 48:1-14 Lord, we worship You in the place of worship – “Within Your Temple, we meditate on Your unfailing love.” Help us to go out from there, and play our part in seeing that Your praise “reaches to the ends of the earth” (Psalm 48:: 9-11). How will other people know of Your love, if we don’t tell them? How will they find their way to Your House, if we don’t invite them? When we share Your Word with others, help us to remember Your promise: “My Word… will not return to Me empty, but will… achieve the purpose for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).
