“One Blessing After
Another”
He
was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not
recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive
him. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave
the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor
of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
The
Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the
glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father,
full of grace and truth.
John
testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I
said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " From the fullness of his grace we have all received one
blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth
came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
John 1:10-18
Face it – for the most part, kids are not impressed with our
accomplishments. So the only way to bridge the gap is to meet them where they
are, to get into their world – like playing one of their games with them.
Jesus did this with us. He came down to our level so we could
get to know Him. He came to this earth, and in so doing, bridged the gap
between His world and ours once and for all. Only then could we begin to
understand how worthy He is, of our utmost adoration and praise!
Jesus bridged the gap between the
infinite God and finite man.
