For Thursday, December 15, 2022:
John 1:1-3 NLT: “In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.”
Jesus’ existence didn’t begin when he came to earth as a little baby. He was present at the very beginning. The Bible is clear – Jesus participated in the creation of everything!
Our Savior was both fully human and fully God. As God, he could heal those who needed healing and walk on water through a raging storm. As a man, he could bond with his disciples and show special care for his mother. As a man, he died, but as God, he took the sins of the world to the place of the dead. Jesus’ work on the cross redeemed mankind - made it possible for us to see heaven from the inside!
Believers don’t abandon their wounded on the battlefield. So just when we needed it the most, God provided a Redeemer. We’d never make it into heaven on our own, but Jesus has gone ahead to prepare our place! Thank you!
God’s timing is perfect!
