John 1:1-18 Jesus walked right into our life’s and He becomes Reality, He is the Resource for all we need, He walked into our life to Reproduce, and He walks into our life’s to generate us, reform us, and reshape us.
1. What we learn about Jesus is his Reality. He has always been. He walked right into our life and becomes a reality. I felt him at winter Jam touch my heart.
• Reality is the state of things as they actually exist,
His reality or HIS actual existence has always been
11In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
• What we learn about Jesus is His origin His actual existence, listen
14The Word (logos) became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
• His Genesis or his beginning Jesus shares in the book of Revelation
22:12"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will
give to everyone according to what he has done. 13I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
2. WE also learn Jesus, He is not just a Reality but He walked into our life to be the Resource of all things. If He is able to do all the following then he is able to be our resource.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that
has been made.
A. John claims He is the resource of creation In the beginning
Gen 1:1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
B. He is the resource of light The word said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
C. The Word is the Resource for Vegetation
The Word said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with
seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so
D. The Word is the Resource for day and night
The Word said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night
E. The Word is the Resource for all living creatures The Word said
, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."
F. The Word is the resource of Humanity 26The Word said,
"Let us make man in our image, in our likeness27So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
3. What We learn about Jesus is His Reality, He is our Resource, and He walked into our life to become that which Reproduces.
4In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
- He reproduces light back into life
I have heard people say, "I once was blind but now I see".
I heard He told a man that he must be born again and that man’s
Life changed a religious leader who decided to be a follower of Christ.
- Jesus Reproduces light even in darkness. 5The light shines in the darkness,
He is the one who holds hope for humanity. The light shines in dark days, depressed days, days when no money to pay bills, the light still shines in days when diagnosed with a crippling or terminal disease. He is present to reproduce light in your darkened world.
- Jesus Reproduces Redemption
26"I baptize withI water," John replied but He will baptize you with power or fire 29The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus wants to redo your life by taking away
4. What we learn about Jesus is He is Reality, He is our Resource, He is the one who Reproduces,
He Regenerates us, He reforms us and He Refreshes us. I am glad He walked into our life and becomes all these things, just for us.
32Then John gave this testimony: "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, `The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' 34I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God."
IN conclusion what we learn about Jesus He wants to walk into our lives
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us
• He wants to Walk into our lives he causes our hearts to feel strangely warmed
• He wants to walk into our lives and touch us like the old song "somebody touched me, must
have Been the hand of the LORD."
He wants to walk into our lives like he walked into the centurions life as looked up and Jesus hanging on the cross he said "this must have been the Son of God."
Let Him walk into your mess, your sins, and be saved.
