MAY 29
THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH

Scripture:  John 1:1, 14 “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

    We see from our text today that the Word of God is not just written, but it is also living.  “The Word was made flesh” tells us that the
Word was a person and this person was the Lord Jesus Christ.  In Hebrews 4:12 the Bible says, “for the word of God is quick (or alive) and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword…”  But then verse 13 says, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.”  The Scripture here refers to the Word of God that was said to be quick and powerful” in verse 12 and to “him” in verse 13.  The Word is a Person, Jesus, and the living Word and the written Word are inseparable.
   As you study the written Word of God, you will find that there is no way to have a proper understanding of them if you don’t know the living Word, Jesus!  God reveals His will to us through the wisdom of the written Word.  All that God wants you to know is found in the pages of the Bible.  All that you need to know about God and His will for your life, you’ll find in this precious old book, the Bible!     
     In John 5:39, Jesus tells us that the Scriptures are what testifies of Him! It has been said that the Bible is the unfolding drama of redemption which we see through the picture of Christ in the Word of God.  Do you know Him today?  Have you seen Him revealed in the Scriptures?  All we know about Jesus and His redemptive work in the lives of men is found written in the Bible.  The familiar song says, “Jesus loves me this I know”.  How do you know?  “For the Bible tells me so.”
