Let us give thanks to the Word made flesh, who shelters us from every storm.
There are so many who stumble over the Cornerstone what is Jesus Christ. Many believe in many things, but they all fall just short because they will not accept that the Word(the Messiah) became flesh and temporarily dwelt among us. Who was with the Father before Creation and who is also self existant. He is the Son of God and He is also God. He is God stooping down, so that we may be raised up. He sits at the Fathers right hand and He calls us friends. What a friend we have in Jesus(good song too), who has experienced more pain than most of us will ever know. Who better to shelter us than the One who has faced every temptation we ever will and walked through it without sin. Joh. 1:14 "And the Word became flesh and tabernacled (lived) among us, and we saw His glory, such glory as an only begotten Son recieves from His Father, full of Grace and Truth."
He calls us friends and what friend would not do all he/she could to give aid. Joh. 1:16 "For out of His fullness we have all recieved one Grace after another and spiritual Blessing upon spiritual Blessing and even Favor upon Favor and Gift [heeped] upon Gift."
As He knew of the suffering to come from those who were created through Him He prayed for those His Father had given Him. Even in a time of darkness that had yet to be passed through in a time of deep despair He petitioned on our behalf because we are His friends. Joh. 17:15-17 "I do not ask that You (the Father) take them (His children) out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, [just] as I am not of the world. Sanctify them [seperate them for Yourself] by Truth; Your Word is Truth. Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (made Holy) in the Truth.
We hold the Truth in our hands today, which is the Word of God, that many could not. It is our shelter, our defense, and our Sword for when rough times come. It is the 'Living' Word, which means things are going on as we read its words. There is a power that is being released into our hearts and minds with every verse. There are those moments when the letters will come to life and dance, before our eyes when God is speaking directly to us. There are times when we will flip open our Bible and it just happens to land on exactly what we needed to know. It is our Father, it is Jesus Christ, and it is the Holy Spirit of God talking to us all. It is Christ Jesus sheltering us from the hardships we will encounter by preparing our hearts and minds with what they need to be given victory in this life and the next! So I say Thank You Jesus Christ for all You have done, are doing, and will do for us all. Thank You from the bottom of this heart that You have given us. Thank You.
God bless you and keep you all
