Jesus came to
show us how
much God loves us.
he scratching of Johns reed pen on the parchment came to a sudden stop. Once again he felt the need to think carefully about what
he was trying to communicate. Ive already explained how Jesus was the
Word, the message of light and life from God, John mused.
I think thats pretty clear. But now for this next part . . .
Once again John played with his reed while he thought. He was
the only disciple left, the last one who had walked and talked and
eaten and lived with Jesus. He was writing down what he had seen
and heard before it was too latebefore his witness was gone forever.
It was so important to choose the right words to communicate exactly
who Jesus was to those who had never met Him in person.
Yes, He was God, John thought. He was God who created the world
with the power of His word. He always was and always had been. But
then He made a choice. He chose to leave the splendor of heaven in order
to come down to this earth. He became a man.
