Who Is God? Part 9

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

As I have been using the scriptures to discover who God is these past weeks, it will come as no surprise to you that God is intimately tied to His word. In our verse for today, John even states that the Word was God. Though we do not claim to be God, we have experienced a similar connection to our word in this life. If you don't think so, then simply say the wrong words at the wrong time, and watch the consequences. You may be connected firmly to those words for years to come! Not only does God not face that problem, but so perfect is His word that the challenge is to get us to believe His word. When in verse 14 the scripture reads that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, we and others might find that just a little unbelievable, incredible even. John bears witness and we have to decide to believe it or to reject it. And from this and other passages in the word of God, we who choose to believe find the point of separation from the world. You and I cannot prove that God spoke His Word and it became flesh, but we were invited and enabled to believe it.

Grateful are we that Jesus is the embodiment of the Word of God!
