The Word Became Flesh

Theme: Spiritual Discipline for Christian Growth

Brethren,

Compliments of the Season.

One of the key lessons from last Sunday’s  study on The Spiritual Discipline of Submission and Obedience is that obedience is the supreme test of our faith in God and reverence for His name (Ephesians 5:21; 1 Peter 2:13). So, we submit and obey constituted authority because God expects His children to do so, not only when it is pleasant but even when it hurts.

This Sunday, our Bible study topic is: The Word Became Flesh.

Key Learning Points Include That:

1. Jesus Christ is the Word from God and of God. He is the “true light” and life-giving presence of God who “made his dwelling among us” (John 1:4, 9, 13,14,18). These truths about Jesus are the foundation of all truth, without which there can be no saving faith.
2. God has been speaking to man in various ways and forms (Hebrews 1:1-3). But in Jesus Christ, God makes His best and final communication by taking on human flesh – becoming fully man while fully retaining His deity. HE did this as the ultimate revelation of Himself and to bring eternal life to all who believe in him.
3. Unlike other religions and gods who do thing for show, God’s primary purpose with man is that every man returns to His family by receiving and believing in Jesus Christ. John 1:12; 3:16

And with Christmas just a week away, may I use this opportunity to wish us all a Merry Christmas, remembering that in Jesus, God has said all He wants to say to us.
