Title: God Became Flesh
(S) cripture:
John 1:14 (NASB) And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(O) bservation:
The “Word” became flesh so that we might know God. Jesus became human so we could encounter God. In his flesh, Jesus experienced all that we experience and yet did not sin. He then died for our sins and rose again. His resurrection is a sign that God had accepted his sacrifice on our behalf. When we see Jesus we recognize that He is God’s only Son and our Savior.
(A) pplication:
That God would become a man in order to save us is an awesome thought and act. Since He experienced everything that we experience there is nothing that happens in my life that surprises or catches Him off guard. Therefore, he can help me in any situation I might face. Today I trust the God who became flesh to save me. His work was complete and there is nothing left to be done. My life is saved by faith in his work on my behalf.
(P) rayer:
Lord, help me to always see your grace and truth in Jesus and let that rule my life and guide my actions. Amen
