“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us” John 1:14.
The Word.
He is the Word incarnate, the Logos, and his name, the name of Jesus, is above every other name. In the beginning, God spoke the Word, and everything came to be.
“In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:1-5).
The beginning is long past, and the end is not yet fully realized. We are in the middle of our story, the story of the ages, the greatest ever told. The crimson thread of redemption runs from Genesis to revelation, the thread of our Savior’s blood and sacrifice.
The Messiah has come. Hope is here, and hope is coming again. And when he comes again, hope will be fully realized. The Scripture tells us, “For all the promises of God find their yes in Him” (2 Corinthians 1:20). All of the promises are fulfilled in his life, death, and resurrection.
In Ephesians 3:8-9, the Apostle Paul writes of the “unsearchable riches of Christ,” to “bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things.” Jesus is the mystery being revealed – He is the realization of all the prophesies of old.
Jesus confirmed that He was sent by God when He prayed, “This is eternal life; that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). Jesus says in verse 5 that He existed eternally with the Father, before the world came into existence. He continues praying for His disciples, praying that they will be one, even as He and the Father are one. He says, “I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction that the Scripture might be fulfilled.”
The Scripture fulfilled.
All the Promises.
He is the One.
