Jesus is the Word

In John 1:1 The Word of God is declared to be GOD - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:14 The Word became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ - "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." John 14:6 Confirms life that lasts comes through Jesus Christ from God the Father - "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 6: 48-58 offers an illustration of how this works, but the explanation did not make “sense” to some of his disciples that were listening. John 6:63 adds additional understanding to the process via the Holy Spirit. But, still not understanding they were offended and simply did not trust the words of Truth. Instead, they chose to reply in their own understanding and walked with the Lord Jesus NO MORE. They turned away! They decided that their logic was better and higher than the God who created them. However, there was another group of his followers, his close disciples. They chose to ask more questions to understand the “hard sayings.” They wanted to trust the Giver of Truth. What are we doing today when we are faced with hard sayings? Do we seek and search to know? Many today are murmuring and complaining about the difficulties we are going through. They are NOT asking questions to know more. They are accepting their own thinking, closing their hearts and minds to the Way, Truth, and Life. As you listen today, examine your heart and be open to the Truth that Jesus is the Word, to receive Him is to also receive His Word.
