Well, here we are – at the end of another year – and, one year closer to when our amazing Jesus – our living and flawless God will return in all His glory. I’m impatient for His return – to again, feel His majesty, to witness His awesome power, and to enter His eternal rest [...]

We spend one day with Selwyn, looking at the verse John 1:14 (NIV): “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

I think that the Bible readings used for reading and meditation over the last few days have been very good.
Today’s verses are no exception, Paul’s letter to the Philippians 2:1-11 (NIV) contains some great verses:

I think that Selwyn picked an excellent verse to be the centrepiece of his Christmas meditation.
John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
As, he says, the original Greek for [...]

I’m not able to add anything more to Selwyn’s introductory sentence – because in its simplicity there can be found all the verses of Scripture.
” ‘Jesus Christ,’ said a little boy, ‘puts a face on God.’ “
We can have a loving relationship with God through Jesus and on one else can provide such a life-giving access to [...]
