Shared Glory John 1:14 · Life For Toledo

  I'm thinking today of John 1, 14, the book of
• 0:04
  John, chapter 1, verse 14, and it says, And the
• 0:08
  Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we
• 0:13
  saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten,
• 0:17
  from the Father, full of grace and truth. God
• 0:22
  didn't have to show us anything, but here He
• 0:25
  is, He showed us everything we needed to do,
• 0:27
  everything. that would amaze us. Jesus was the
• 0:32
  word made flesh. I suppose in a sense that means
• 0:35
  he and the Bible are the same, or at least the
• 0:38
  Bible tries to encapsulate everything about Jesus.
• 0:41
  I think it's interesting one point Jesus says,
• 0:44
  he came to fulfill the law. Jesus is, of course,
• 0:48
  so much more than the written word, as he is
• 0:51
  alive and he was a man. He was full of grace.
• 0:55
  Grace is an undeserved gift. the thing that God
• 0:59
  gave us when we didn't deserve it. He was full
• 1:02
  of grace and truth. Truth is what's right. It
• 1:06
  holds true no matter how people tried to twist
• 1:09
  it, warp it, people tried to deceive. And he
• 1:13
  was the way to victory. They saw him and they
• 1:17
  saw his glory as much as any man can see God's
• 1:21
  glory. And in many cases, they refused him. And
• 1:25
  that's still going on today. But the fact remains
• 1:28
  that he became flesh and dwelt among us. And
• 1:32
  he would live in your life if you'd have him.
• 1:34
  I'm so grateful that God is willing to share
• 1:37
  his glory with us. Aren't you?
