You Can Find Life In Him

He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life — John 1:2-4a.

So we've established that the "Word," or Jesus, is the always-existing God represented in the flesh. The Bible is the Word of God transcribed, and Jesus is the Word of God personified. And in these verses, John emphasizes this nature again. But in verse four, he declares, "In him was/is [always exists] life." And this is an essential element.

It's important because we, mankind, are always dying. From the day we are born, we are faced with this reality. We are reminded of it all the time. During Covid, we were reminded of it minute by minute on just about every channel and during every commercial. But Jesus is different. He is human but also divine. In him is the self-existing and always-existing life that all people want. And the evidence that he is life is presented in two significant events we celebrate yearly. Christmas is the event of the virgin birth, where God became a human because in him was/is life. And Easter is the event of the empty grave, where Jesus defeated death because in him was/is life.

In this book, John will present Jesus as the one who holds the power of life, and that came to share the message of life, so that all who believe might receive life.

And this is the choice we are all presented with. We can choose to believe or choose not to believe. One option seeks only this life, its pleasures, and its end, and those days are numbered. The other option seeks the answers in the one who is life, his pleasures, and those days never end because in him is an ever-existing life. And the choice is an individual's to make. Do you believe? Or do you choose not to believe?

ASK THIS: Do you believe? Or do you choose not to believe?

DO THIS: Make your choice.

PRAY THIS: God, my choice is...

PLAY THIS: This I Believe.
