Jesus is God

by Richard

The undeniable truth that John seeks to convey at the beginning of his Gospel is that Jesus is God. Jesus has always existed! He created the universe! He reveals to us in human form God’s amazing glory, grace and truth! He has the power to save us and adopt us into His family!

Right at the end of the section is a verse that I’d never noticed before. If you read it carefully there’s no question that John is ascribing to Jesus the supreme title “The One and Only God”. The verse is below. I recommend that you read it a couple of times and follow the syntax.

“No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known.” (John 1:18, NIV)

May it sink in, just a little bit that as I read about Jesus and His teaching I am watching and listening to THE GOD of the universe! May it increase our desire to follow Him just that little bit more, and inspire our ability to exercise faith as we seek to practice His teaching!
