God Speaks Through His Son

10/28/2013

Scripture reading:   John 1:1-18 (NIV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life,and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) 16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. 17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Picture
1. No one can reveal God, except Jesus, His Son! Verse 18
    a) Jesus explains what He himself is and what He has seen!
    b) Jesus is the Word and has been from the beginning! Verse 1
    c) The Word is Creator! Verse 3
    d) The Word is life giver and sustainer! Verse 4
    e) The Word is revelator! Verse 9

2. Jesus Speaks for God by putting His Word into living flesh and blood among men! Verse 14
    Jesus shows us:
    a) God’s Glory
    b) God’s Grace: verse 16
    c) God’s Truth: verse 17

3. Jesus Speaks to Jews and Gentiles in words that allow all who believe in Him to become children of God! Verses 10-13
    a) Everyone does not hear Jesus’ words as the word of God the creator!
    b) Each person must accept or reject what Jesus says to them.
    c) All who believe are born of the will of God into His family!

4. All other means of revelation are simply an extension of Jesus’ revelation!
    a) Holy Spirit! The real and invisible presence of Christ in every believer today!
    b) Pray for a “word” from God! Rhema: The personal utterance of God to believers through the Holy Spirit
    c) Bible! Graphe: written Word of God!
    d) Church
    e) Circumstances

Summary:
1. No one can reveal God except Jesus, His Son! Verse 18
2. Jesus Speaks for God by putting His Word into living flesh and blood among men! Verse 14
3. Jesus Speaks to Jews and Gentiles in words that allow all who believe in Him to become children of God! Verses 10-13
4. All other means of revelation are simply an extension of Jesus’ revelation!

Scripture Reading:  1 John 3:16 (NIV)

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.

2.      Learn what a Love Relationship Requires: Deut. 6:4-5; Mark 12:30 

3.      Live in love with the God who loves you and died for you: John 3:16; 1 John 3:16; 1 John 4:9-10

4.      Lasting Love! Romans 8:35, 37, 39; Mathew 6:31-33

God Is Always At Work

Scripture Reading:  Habakkuk 1:1-4 (NLT)
1 This is the message that the prophet Habakkuk received in a vision.
2 How long, O Lord, must I call for help?  But you do not listen!  Violence is everywhere!” I cry,but you do not come to
   save.
3 Must I forever see these evil deeds?  Why must I watch all this misery?  Wherever I look,I see destruction and violence.
   I am surrounded by people who love to argue and fight.
4 The law has become paralyzed,and there is no justice in the courts.  The wicked far outnumber the righteous,
    so that justice has become perverted.

Scripture Reading:  2 Corinthians 9:1-15
6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion,for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
