John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.

Download audio fileIt’s rather an odd thing, but one of the names that Jesus is given in the Bible, is that He’s the “Word of God”. Now we normally use that term – “the Word of God” – for the Bible itself, because, after all, it’s through the Bible that God speaks His words into our lives. Fair enough. But have you ever thought how powerfully God speaks to us through Jesus Himself, the very Son of God, God in the flesh?
This is how the Apostle John puts it:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. (John 1:1-5)
We all travel through dark times. We just do. And in those dark times, what we need is light. Jesus came to be that light. That’s what He said of Himself:
I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. (John 8:12)
Jesus, is God speaking to us in a language that we can understand. And that’s why in my own personal reading of the Bible, I always make sure that from time to time, I cycle through one of the Gospels. Right now I’m just about to finish the book of Psalms and head into Matthew’s Gospel.
Why? Because Jesus is God revealing Himself to us – to you and to me. And I don’t know about you, but I need that Light in my life. I need Jesus speaking directly into my life. I need a deep, personal, intimate relationship with Jesus, as I walk with Him and for Him, day by day.
Without Jesus, we don’t know God, indeed, we can’t know God. Without Jesus we can’t find the way to God, because Jesus is the way.
Might I ask you today, what darkness do you have going on in your life? What fears, what uncertainties, what worries are at the forefront of your thinking right at the moment? What situations are confusing you and confounding you and proving completely impossible to overcome?
Jesus is the answer. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. All things that were created, were created through Him and by Him. He has knowledge and wisdom and power beyond anything we can imagine.
And He is the light for all people. That includes you. And when that light, His light, the Light of the world shines into your life, the darkness simply cannot overcome it. Jesus is the answer.
That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
