The Eternal Word Became One Of Us

God,the eternal, all knowing and ever present one. The Father, the Son and Spirit, ?the three are one. One God who is spirit.

Only God can create something out of nothing. Before He created, He already knew humanity would give power to their selfish desires and activate evil into His perfect world. God knew they would become trapped in the very thing that they thought they could control.

As a result of their choice to become one with both good and evil, in shame they would run away from God.

As God’s desire is for them to be at rest and peace with Him, He would pursue them in love, stitch clothes for them and cover their shame. He did everything for them, to be at rest with Him and receive His eternal forgiveness that is always there for them.

Even before God created He knew that in a moment of time in human history, He would become one of us. Come down from heaven to earth and cloth Himself in humanity. In His selfless eternal act of love and sacrifice towards humanity, God would take away our shame and pay the cost for us. Because God ?so loves, and His heart’s desire is toward us, He willing chose to do all this, to set humanity free.

So it is was in that moment in human history, when the Eternal Word became one of us, that we celebrate as Christmas.

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was ?in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that ?was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

When God speaks it is so. His words are light and life, revelation and salvation. All things were made through Him and by Him, for He is the creator God.

He is the divine light of all humanity and the Lord of everyone’s destiny. The Eternal Word, who is light ?and life stepped down into our darkness.

Darkness is the absence of light. In the beginning before the Eternal voice spoke light into existence, ?there was the darkness over the face of the deep. Then God said, ‘Let there be light and there was light.’ The darkness was pushed back and can never overcome the light. The destructive forces of evil, death ?and selfish desires cannot overcome the light. For the light is always stronger, victorious and glorious.

To those who accept the Eternal Word who is light and life, become children of the light and receive life everlasting. Just as creation of light was the beginning of filling the earth with all God’s goodness and life, when humanity receives the light, we undergo a spiritual birth and become a new creation. We inherit eternal life.

Life eternal is in Him, for He is the Eternal Word. Through Him all things were created and given life. He is the source of life, for He is life itself.

He is the Eternal Word who became one of us.

John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The writer John testifies that the Eternal Word, while He walked the earth and a man, revealed both the glory and heart of God the Father.

In becoming one of us, He was God’s ultimate expression of Himself and His great love for us.

Yes the Eternal Word became one of us. He not only became one of us, but he made His home amongst us. He left His home in heaven, from the heart of God the Father and came down to where we are at, and made His home with us.

He gave up everything to be so intimate and personal with us that He lived in the tent of a human body.

The Eternal Word who is light and life, became one of us was full of grace and truth.

This grace and truth is the glory of God’s goodness, His love, His faithfulness, in fact all His characteristics. It is because of God’s character, because He so love that He gives all of Himself to humanity. Even those who He knew would reject Him and chose an eternal destiny of darkness, death and torment, forever away from Him, He came to, full of grace and truth.
