John 1:1-5 In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him all things were made; without Him, nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
John 1:14a The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us….
Read Psalm 103
When God created heaven and earth and all that dwell in it, He did it to have communion with us. He desired to walk in the garden with us. He desired to talk with us, to hear about our day and what is going on in our world, both physical and spiritual. He gave Adam and Eve a perfect honeymoon spot. He gave them all that they could ever need or desire. Then Adam and Eve saw the one thing out of reach and they had to have it. So they grabbed for the golden ring and fell off of the perfection God gave them and created their new reality. They learned the hard way that they should have listened to what God told them.
God so desired to have that precious time with us again, He sent His Son into the world so that we could have a human form with skin on to touch and see and hear with our physical ears and eyes and hands. We could now have a perfect picture of God the Father.
Jesus is God. He tells us that what He says and does are all a perfect representation of the Father. All that He did here on earth was in direct obedience to what His Father and our Father told Him to do. He gave us the perfect example of how we can live in perfect communion with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
John 5:24 tells us that when we hear His words and believe God Who sent Him, we cross over from death to eternal life. Jesus showed us the Father through all He did. We can see the character and love and the ways of God the Father. Psalm 103:7 tells us that God showed His deeds to Israel but His ways to Moses. We have that same privilege. We have a record of God's acts and ways. We can choose to see only what we want to see or we can go deeper and learn of the God Who loved us enough to send His Son to live among us and show us a better way.
