The Journey Begins
Thank you for
visiting my blog. Currently I am reading through the four Gospels (Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John). I seek to study out the scriptures to behold the person of Jesus and the heart of God. Jesus is the
express image of God's nature and the true representation of His person (Heb
1:3). It is through knowing Jesus that we receive a clear picture of who the
Father is. Where we might have poor eye sight to the nature and person of God,
Jesus is the glasses to see God clearly. Not only is he the perfect
representation of God's nature, but he is also the Word made flesh (see John
1:1-18).
"In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All
things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was
made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light
of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and
the darkness did not comprehend it ... 14 And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and
truth." John 1:1-5, 14
Before the
foundation of the world, Jesus was with God and he was God. He is God in the
flesh, but also the Word made flesh. He is the living breathing Word, i.e. the
Word in action. Through looking at the accounts of Jesus we perceive the
character and will of God.
Most people have
heard about Jesus, but few know the person of Jesus.
The purpose of this
blog is to discover more about the person of Jesus. I want this blog to be
interactive. So study the scriptures out with me and leave your comments and
thoughts below. Discover alongside me who Jesus is through looking at the
accounts in the four gospels.
"May grace and
perfect peace cascade over you as you live in the rich knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord." 1 Peter 1:2
