What Did Jesus Do?
and we have seen his glory...full of grace and truth.
John 1.14
I have seen the glory of the sunrise while walking along an Atlantic beach. I have also seen the glory of sunsets in the Pacific. But the glory of the sun is nothing compared to the glory of the Son. John wrote his gospel because he had beheld the glory of the Word made flesh.
If the sun were to come just a little bit closer to the earth all life on our planet would be destroyed. The Son brought salvation when he came to dwell in the very midst of us.
The sun is full of incredibly hot gases, a glorious consuming inferno. The Son iss full of grace and truth, the redeeming glory of the Father.
Anyone who would directly behold the glory of the sun's light would be blinded. Those who behold the Son's glory see and know the the Father more clearly.
Too much exposure to the sun is very bad for us. The more we time we spend with the Son the better for us.
A sunburn is painful. The Son is as a soothing balm of Gilead.
The sun could not possibly care less about us. The Son loved us so much that he was willing to die for us.
The sun gives light to the world. The Son is the light of the world.
The sun's light reveals the world around us. The Son's light reveals the Father's kingdom.
The heat and light of the sun will one day be exhausted. The grace and truth of the Son is everlasting.
Jesus the Son,the Word made flesh, came and dwelt among us in order that the fullness of the glory of the grace and truth of the Father should be revealed to us. All who behold the glory are blessed.
S.D.G.
