John 1 & 2
Nothing was made without the WORD – No person who ever was and ever will be was made without the WORD. Here John is referring to Jesus Christ. We were all made with Jesus. We are meant to be living with Jesus. Those who would limit Christ to a figure in history are missing out on the fullness of their own creative potential. We were made with the WORD to live with the WORD. My existence separate from Jesus is a partial existence – like a shell without the living organism. And if I don’t see the WORD in me then I won’t be able to see the WORD in you. It is the WORD in each of us that creates community and family. As I am with the WORD then I am with you with the WORD – this is what true fellowship (community) is and the purpose off this community is to serve the WORD in others – one another! Jesus said, as you do for the least of these (people) so you do for me.
Grow in the WORD, learn about the WORD, know yourself through the WORD, take time with the WORD, enjoy the WORD, share the WORD. We have been created for relationship with the WORD – anything less is a diminishing of real and eternal life.
How????
By following the WORD!
Let’s keep reading John’s gospel to see what this means. [Prayer - LORD Jesus you are the WORD of GOD in whom and through whom we were all made. Help me to never put myself above others and to see all as you do - people of the WORD. Help me to follow you as you show me in scripture and by the counsell and guidance of your Spirit. In Jesus name. Amen]
