and without Him nothing was

He is responsible for creating
and sustaining the universe. He
Col 1:16-17
16 For by Him all things were
created that are in heaven and

Him all things consist. NKJV

was the light of men. 5 And the
light shines in the darkness, and

eternal life, and not just
biological life (bios). This life is
the light of the world.
We are people of the light, and
Matt 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the
world. A city that is set on a hill
cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do
they light a lamp and put it
under a basket, but on a
lampstand, and it gives light to
all who are in the house. 16 Let
your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good
works and glorify your Father in
heaven. NKJV

10 He was in the world, and the
world was made through Him,
and the world did not know Him.
11 He came to His own, and His
own did not receive Him. NKJV

hunger, pain, people, etc. His
own people rejected Him!
However incredible a gift is,
John 1:12-13
12 But as many as received Him,
to them He gave the right to
become children of God, to those
who believe in His name: 13 who
were born, not of blood, nor of
the will of the flesh, nor of the
will of man, but of God.
NKJV

to become Gods children. Those
Rom 8:15-17
15 For you did not receive the
spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of
adoption by whom we cry out,
"Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit
Himself bears witness with our
spirit that we are children of
God, 17 and if children, then
heirs heirs of God and joint
heirs with Christ, if indeed we
suffer with Him, that we may
John 1:14
14 And the Word became 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. NKJV
The word of God must BECOME
FLESH and dwell with the mess
for the glory of God to be
revealed!
Christ is FULL of Grace and

and dwelt among us, and we
beheld His glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father,
full of grace and truth. NKJV

2 Cor 3:15-18
15 But even to this day, when
Moses is read, a veil lies on their
heart. 16 Nevertheless when one
turns to the Lord, the veil is
taken away. 17 Now the Lord is
the Spirit; and where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18
But we all, with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the
glory of the Lord, are being
transformed into the same image

all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through
Moses, but grace and truth came
through Jesus Christ. NKJV
