对今日诗句的想法
神的救恩的道在创世纪的时候就与上帝同在。事实上,这道就是上帝本人。约翰要我们认识耶稣,上帝的道,最终的道在一开始就与上帝同在。那个把水变成酒,喂五千人,并且让拉撒路的复活的那位,祂并没有以人的样子出现在世,但他一直都存在,直到他在伯利恒出生。正如马太所说的那样,他是与我们同在的上帝(马太福音1:23)。正如路加所说的,他来拜访我们(路加福音7:16)。正如马可提醒的那样,他是上帝的儿子(马可福音1:1)。他是上帝最终和最后的道(希伯来书1:1-2)!
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
These words are profound... what they mean for us is extraordinary and mind-blowing! Jesus is the Word, the one who was with God in the beginning and was God before there was a beginning (John 1:1-3). Jesus is God's ultimate and final Word (Hebrews 1:1-3). This Word is the one who turned water to wine, fed the five thousand with only five loaves and two fish, and raised Lazarus from the dead. He made his human appearance on earth when he was born in Bethlehem and placed in a manger by his mother, Mary, but Jesus has always been one with God and always has been God the Son. When Jesus came to us, he was God with us (Matthew 1:23). Jesus was God's human incarnation in human flesh. He was God who came to visit us, his people (Luke 7:16). This Word is the Son of God, as Mark reminded us (Mark 1:1). He was declared Son of God with power through his resurrection (Romans 1:3-4). As the Jewish religious leaders knew in Jesus' time, to be God's Son meant you were one with God (John 10:30, 36, 17:20-23), equal to God (John 5:16-18), and the "I Am" who revealed himself to Moses as Israel's covenant God, the Lord (Exodus 3:11-14; John 8:57-58). If you want to know how God would live on earth, look to Jesus; he, the Word, has made God known through his life on earth (John 1:14-18). We join with Thomas and declare to Jesus, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:26-28).
