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 all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. ( John 1: 1-4)
that's the One..
who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross (Philippians 2: 6-8)
that One..
in the Garden, He prayed : Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. for you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. and now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. ( John 17:1-5)
so this One... almost 18 years ago He revealed Himself to me... He had known me, but I didn't know Him ... since then I have been seeking Him and getting to know Him better...
and this is something about Him I know now..
He came to bind up the broken-hearted... through His people...
scenario today:
a girl: pregnant.. living below the poverty line... gave birth... without hope she looked for it in the wrong places..
a baby: taken away from it's mother...
He: told us ( how amazing is that) ..
we: NEED to help her...
that's it....
He, the Word, God's Son.. was there in the beginning... He, chose to give His life for us..He cares.. deeply.. how can we NOT?????????????????????
