God Speaks Through the Son

The Inescapable God
God Reveals


John 3:31-36 (The Message)
 ^31-33"The One who comes from above is head and shoulders over other messengers from God. The earthborn is earthbound and speaks earth language; the heavenborn is in a league of his own. He sets out the evidence of what he saw and heard in heaven. No one wants to deal with these facts. But anyone who examines this evidence will come to stake his life on this: that God himself is the truth.
 ^34-36"The One that God sent speaks God's words. And don't think he rations out the Spirit in bits and pieces. The Father loves the Son extravagantly. He turned everything over to him so he could give it away—a lavish distribution of gifts. That is why whoever accepts and trusts the Son gets in on everything, life complete and forever! And that is also why the person who avoids and distrusts the Son is in the dark and doesn't see life. All he experiences of God is darkness, and an angry darkness at that."

For Reflection
In the ages before Christ, what ever truths were known were known through oral argument and revelations of prophets.  Few people had direct encounters with God.  The Christ event meant that the truth was indeed knowable.  Not just a cloudy glimpse, but rather an undeniable sign, a revelation of the nature of God, His relationship to human kind and His intentions for us.  What do you think is the ultimate truth revealed through the life of Christ?  How does that influence you?

  Praise God for the gift of his Son.  Ask God to guide you in your search for the truth in Jesus Christ.  Pray that the truth of the scriptures will guide your daily actions.
