JESUS: THE HOPE OF GLORY

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.” John 1:1

Jesus is the Word made flesh. He is the beginning and the end because He is God, and nothing in this world, underneath or above, was made without Him, including the things that people have ascribed to themselves as their inventions. Without Him, nothing was made that has not been made.

Jesus’ was coming was to bring in hope to a world lost in darkness. That is why John the Baptist came as a witness to this hope; to introduce the world to the Light and hope of Life in the darkness. This Life that is Christ. That is who Jesus is. Bringing God’s love into a world that was starved of hope and granting some the grace to be called Children of God.

He came to the world which He created in His Splendor and Majesty, but the world did not recognize Him and so rejected Him. However, for those who were granted the grace to believe in Him and accept Him, He brought them the message of grace and truth, stamping out the law of Moses, introducing them to an everlasting love, and giving them the right to be called children of God.

Jesus is Grace and Truth, which He has given to a world pregnant with darkness as a source of Life, Hope and Salvation. All He wants is that we believe in Him and accept Him, and He will do the rest of the hard work, of enabling us to see in this darkness. He is waiting with outstretched arms to introduce you to an undying, unfailing love. Jesus is LOVE.
