Let’s
read Colossians 1:15 & John 1:1 in tandem
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation”.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God”.
How do we
know God? What is the personality of God? How can we comprehend God with our human
understanding? As a vivid answer to all these questions, God revealed himself to
us through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the very HEART of God. “The mouth speaks what the heart is full of”
(Luke 6:45b). Out of the
abundance of God’s heart came forth Jesus Christ…!
The living WORD of God that became flesh in the form of Jesus Christ
dwelt amongst us. He came from God the Father, full of grace and truth (read John
1:14). If you know Jesus, you WILL know God.
From the very first book of the Bible to the very last you get to read many
stories, songs, laws, instructions, genealogies, truths, mysteries and
revelations. But in and through all of these you discover the beautiful persona
of Jesus Christ. The Bible is the Biography
of the Bios. “Bios” means “Life” in Greek. When you study the Word,
meditate on it and wait on the Lord for a personal revelation, Christ who is
the very heart of God is revealed unto you.
Christ is pure and holy. As followers of Christ we also need to have our
hearts overflowing with His purity and His holiness. “Create in me a
pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me”
(Psalm 51:10). Let us pray as the psalmist prayed and seek to be pure and holy by
filling our hearts with the living WORD – Jesus Christ.
God so loved you that He
gave His HEART to you..!!
