Jesus: Not Your Average Guy

"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: 1-5

    These first five verses of John say so much about Christ and are the foundation of Christianity, for if a person does not accept the divinity of Jesus, then they are guilty of rejecting everything between the covers of the Bible.

     "In the beginning was the Word..." The great I Am is Jesus, the infinite Ancient of Days.

     "...and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, he was with God in the beginning." He may have been born of a woman in Bethlehem, but that was not his origin. In fact, he has no point of origin because he is incarnate, not made, something I can't quite wrap my mind around because I am a finite being.

     "Through him all things were made." Jesus created the tree on which he was crucified. He fashioned the minute details of the solar system, from the papery nest of the wasp to the grand orbits of many moons. He is the master of all creation.

     "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." His light shines, it's always there, patiently waiting for the lost to use it for guidance out of the spiritual mire, but many fail to see it.

     Jesus, I believe in your eternity, your infinity, your divinity and your shining light. Illuminate me today, by your Holy Spirit, so that I may radiate with your pure joy. Reflect off me so that the darkness fails to exist, so that others may see you are more than just a martyr. You are the Great I Am.
