JESUS THE INCARNATE WORD

Jesus the Incarnate Word – John  1:1, 14a

In the Old Testament, God had many visible signs of His presence.  During the Exodus, it was a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. After Moses build the tabernacle in the wilderness, the Ark of the covenant became the symbol of God’s presence.  They carried the Ark of covenant during David’s time. Those who looked into the Ark would be killed. In the Old Testament they carry their God but in the New Testament it’s God that carry us now.

Today, we have the precious gift of His Presence through the Holy Spirit. We are now the temple of the Holy Spirit.   If Jesus had never been born, we would still be taking our sacrifices to a priest.  We would stand outside the gate praying that it would be received and breathing a sigh of relief when he again appeared.

God allows us to do to do what the most holy priests could never do.  God now through Jesus allow us to commune with Him personally. 

Christmas is much more than just a holiday to remind us of the Father.  Christmas is a Holy Festival – a Celebration of the Incarnation of the Son of God.  

At Christmas we need to understand God was born in that stable.  Never forget, when you celebrate Christ and His Birth, you celebrate the God of all Heaven and Earth.

The true message of Christmas is not about peace, love, and joy only. But it is all about Jesus. In his opening chapter of his Gospel, John paints a picture of Jesus as "The Incarnate Word Of God".

(John 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

(John 1:1-3) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Today we are beholding His glory and His glory is full of grace and truth.  Behold the God of glory upon glory and the God of grace upon grace! Look to the Grace that is Overflowing! 

2 Corinthians 4:15 says "... so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."


When the glory of God comes grace floods into our soul and the revelation of God's grace comes to us causing us to release an overflow (abundance) of thanksgiving, worship and praise to His Name in the Spirit without any effort.

When that happens the Word becomes alive in you and the Word is God that will transform you from inside out.  Truth will set you free as promised and your life will never be the same again. The Word was God and dwell among us, through us and in us. In Him we LIVE and MOVE and have our BEING. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A BLESSED NEW YEAR 2012!
