My Lenten journey this year... Day 1: "Who is Jesus"...
Drawing from the text found in John 1:1-18 which begins with a bold statement: "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things came into being through Him..."
Right off the bat we are told of the ETERNAL nature of God. In the beginning, God was already there. So eternal... before the worlds and beyond the worlds! This is our God!! Nothing came to be except through God. WOW. What amazing power and greatness is found in our Lord.
Then the passage tells us: "He was in the world, and world came into being through Him, and yet, the world did not know Him. He came to what was His own, and yet His own people did not accept Him..."
So often we cannot see what is right in front of our faces. God is so "right-before-our-eyes" that many of us miss seeing God at all!
Oh, God, let my heart know you. Let my heart welcome you. Let my heart be true and faithful. Let my life accept you. Amen.
