Reflection:
Stop and think for a moment about Jesus being infinite.
How does this affect your understanding of Him coming to earth the way He did the first time?
Follow UP in the Word through the Week…
Monday:
Read: Isaiah 9:6-7
When you consider the “zeal of the Lord”, who do we witness that in action as Jesus came to earth? Consider all of the gospel accounts?
Tuesday:
Read: Matthew 5:17-18
In what ways does Jesus fulfill what was written in the Law and the Prophets? How does this connect with John calling Jesus the Word?
Wednesday:
Read: Luke 24:44-47
What more does Jesus tell us in Luke 24 that helps us to understand more of who Jesus is in relationship to the Law and the Prophets?
Thursday:
Read: John 14:9
Jesus claims to be God in this verse and others. Believing this is essential to being a follower of Jesus. How would you express this to someone else?
Friday:
Read: John 14:6
Again, this is such an important verse to our faith. To say Jesus is “life” means what?
Saturday:
Read: John 3:19
Christmas is a time for celebrating light all around us. How does this match up with what Jesus says about Himself?
