This week · Week 3 of 52
The Character of Christ
Seven days looking at who Jesus actually is, from the text.
Built on John 1:1-18. The Word made flesh, full of grace and truth. John opens his gospel by saying that if you want to know what God is like, you look at Jesus.
Seven days on one page. Every week's board and its full study are free to read, with no account needed, including the weeks already behind us. Each week the study changes and the shape of the week stays the same, so you always know where you are.
Day 1
The Word Made Flesh
Loading John 1:14…
John has just spent thirteen verses on the Word who was with God and was God, and through whom all things were made. Then comes the sentence that no other religion says: the Word was made flesh.
Two things are held together here and Christian faith depends on both. Full of grace, so He can be approached. Full of truth, so He cannot be reshaped to suit us.
- Jesus is God with us, not God's messenger about Himself.
- Grace and truth are never opposites in Christ.
- God's glory was seen in an ordinary human life.
Lord Jesus, You did not stay at a distance. Thank You for coming into flesh and time. Let me see Your glory today in the words of Scripture, and let grace and truth both do their work in me. Amen.
