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).
2 Chronicles 26:1-28:27 Help us, Lord, to learn from the failure of King Uzziah. He began well – “He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord … He set himself to seek God” (2 Chronicles 26:4-5). He lost his way – “When he was strong, he grew proud, and he was false to the Lord his God” ( 2 Chronicles 26:16). Help us, Lord, to become better people – not bitter people!
