Word
John 1:1-5 NLT In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. One of Jesus's closest friends was a man named John. John wrote his Gospel to help any one who read it understand who Jesus really was. John choose to describe Jesus by calling Him. The Word. But what does that really mean? How does calling someone Word help us understand who they really are. The original Greek word John used for word was the word "logos". (That's a lot of words). Logos means much more than just word, however. It is often used to describe reason, experience, and thought. John is showing us that Jesus is the source for all of these things. These things make up who we are. Everything that has existed or will exist was created through Jesus. So what does this mean for us? What device are you reading this on now? A phone, computer, tablet? How do you get power to the device? In order to get power to your device you need a charger that is created to work with that device. Your phone charger won't work on your computer. Your Samsung charger won't charge your iPad. In the same way the only thing that will fill up our lives is the one who is designed to fill us up. Jesus. Is Jesus the one filling up your life? Are there things of the world that you are trying to fill your life with that simply won't do the job? Ask Jesus to reveal areas of your life where you need Him instead of something else. Pastor Blake
