God’s word is the absolute revelation of His will and His way. Scripture itself tells us of its benefits – from “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path” to “Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness...” – from Psalms through Timothy, from Genesis to Revelation, from the beginning to the end. God’s Word is precious, priceless, and irreplaceable in our lives.
That is why it is so breathtaking that in John 1:14 we are told of Jesus, “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory.”
Jesus, the Word, dwelt among us. Jesus, Name above All Names, was made flesh. Jesus, our Emmanuel, was born here for us! That is indeed glorious!
All the benefits of the Word – lighting our way, keeping us from sin, instructing us, training us, giving us hope – all of this and so much more, is manifested in the God-Man Jesus. All of this is caught up in the swaddling clothes in the manger at Bethlehem. All of our hope, all of our future, all of our eternity’s fate, lay in a stable behind an inn long ago. Neglected by mankind at his birth and scorned by them later, He is not surprised that men pass Him by today.
But we, we are blessed indeed. For where the world sees only a nativity scene, we can see the Word, made flesh. We can behold His glory. Praise His Name!
