“For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.” —Hebrews 2:17 (NIV)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” —John 1:1‭-‬2‭, ‬14 (NIV)
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!” —Philippians 2:6‭-‬8 (NIV)
“Jesus—100% God And 100% Human” By Craig T. Owens:
“Oh! that the power of God would set my heart and pen at liberty while writing, and fill your hearts while reading, that we may rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” (John Newton)
“On paper it seems so simple: “We believe in the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God’s Son, Jesus was both human and divine.” But trying to wrap our finite human minds around the concept of the full humanity and the full deity of Jesus is challenging!
First off, Jesus was fully human. Both Matthew and Luke record details about Christ’s physical birth, and the writer of Hebrews says that Jesus was made every bit as human as us (Hebrews 2:17).
But Jesus was also fully God. John records how God became flesh in the Person of Jesus (John 1:1-2, 14), and Paul tells us how Jesus chose not to use His deity when He came to earth as a human (Philippians 2:6-8).
I know that anytime we say, “God is like…” we’ve already sold ourselves short, but I’d like to try one analogy that’s been helpful for me.
Imagine a coin that has two distinct sides. While we are looking at one side (heads), we cannot see the other side (tails) but that doesn’t mean the other side has ceased to exist. In fact, if we were able to split that coin in half, so that there was only a heads and a tails, we haven’t cut the value of the coin in half, but we’ve made the coin of no value at all!
In the Greek language of the New Testament, there are a couple of words for “knowing”: one is gnosis and the other oido. Together these words combine head knowledge and heart knowledge, or knowledge by study and knowledge by experience.
C.S. Lewis captures the idea this way: “It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true Word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him.”
Just as Jesus was both God and Man, we are to use both our mind and our heart to know Him.
To focus on the “heads” side—the deity of Jesus—is to pervert gnosis into gnosticism, and deny the humanity of Jesus. To focus on the “tails” side—the humanity of Jesus—is to pervert gnosis into agnosticism, and deny the deity of Jesus. True gnosis keeps both sides in mind: Deity and humanity.
To truly know THE Word of God (Jesus) in all His humanity and in all His deity, we need to study the Word of God. We also need the help of the Holy Spirit. I like the Old English wording of this verse—Ye have an unction [charisma] from the Holy One, and ye know [gnosis] all things (1 John 2:20).
So read your Bible, but not just to read your Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to make THE Word known to you. Live in the balance of gnosis as you get to know Jesus more deeply and personally.”

Christmas card 2023 “And the word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory ... full of grace and truth”
watercolour and gouache by Cornelius Brombach
This years christmas card is an illustration of the bibleverse from John 1:14:
The first 14 verses from the gospel of John are in the background. This magnificient passage hights the origin and identity of Jesus Christ: That he himself is God.
Verse 14 is the shortest Christmas verse in all the gospels. A verse that has more than the baby from Bethlehem in view.
Jesus gives us eternal life by his grace and his truth is a light in our life. Life is illustrated by the plants, light by the oil lamp. The lamb illustrates that Jesus is the lamb of God (John 1:29).

Reading a German Scholar from 1867
Commenting on the situation leading to the beginning of the monarchy in ancient Israel, Wilhelm Krummacher makes a keen observation on the mindset of the nation. The nation, whose God was their King, took their eyes off their King and instead gazed at the surrounding nations and wanted what they had, a king like the surrounding nations. “It must be with them as it was with the heathen nations.…

The Logos: A Quick Word About It Doesn't Do it Justice
In the Prologue to his Gospel, John said that the Word– the logos– was God! Was this something he came up with out of the blue? Did anybody understand what he meant? Have you ever thought about what it means? Let’s take a quick look at it and consider not only what it meant, but what it says to us today… “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1…

A Spiritual Treasury For The Children of God
Tumblr media
by William Mason
Morning - February 16th
The word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth. - John 1:14
When the Lord gave Lamech a son, he called his name Noah, which signifies repose or consolation; and he said, "This same shall comfort us concerning the work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed." Genesis 5:29. Noah was an eminent type of Jesus. Every sinner, who is poor, and made low (us Lamech signifies) has infinite reason so to conclude of Jesus, the Son of God. This same shall comfort us, though the work and toil of hands have been evil, and we are cursed for sin.
To be poor and made low in self, and to be struck with the display of the glory of the Lord Jesus, is the work of the Spirit, by the word of truth, and is peculiar to believers in all ages. "Abraham rejoiced to see Christ’s day of incarnation; he saw it and was glad." And all the children of Abraham’s faith now, as well as the apostles, see the glory of Jesus by the same Spirit, whose office is to glorify Christ. To know Jesus as man, the anointed Saviour, brings life and peace to our hearts. To see his glory as God-man, fills our souls with the triumphs of salvation. Thus we are satisfied with him as our Lord and our God. We look to no other God, but the God in our flesh, who dwelt among us. He is full of grace and truth to us. All wrath and terror ceaseth against us. "For God was in Christ reconciling the world, not imputing sin." So God hath drawn nigh to us, so he hath embraced and loved us, so by faith we draw nigh to, embrace and love him.
When Jesus is embraced in the arms of faith, the enraptured heart cries out, with Simeon, "Mine eyes have seen thy salvation;" "We run with patience the heavenly race, looking to Jesus." With this view, we meditate on our hastening dissolution with composure; expect the sure messenger with peace; look forward to approaching judgment with joy, being assured of the joyful sight of the glorified man, Jesus, the judge, who shall then appear as the great God and our Saviour; "whom, having not seen in the flesh, we love; in whom, though we now see him not, yet believing, we rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory." - 1 Peter 1:8. "For yet a little while and he shall certainly come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe in that day." - 2 Thessalonians 1:10.
And did my God in human flesh And blood appear below?
Was he beheld as full of truth, That grace from him might flow?
The faith of this attracts my soul, To Christ in union sweet; More of thy fulness, Lord, bestow, In thee I am complete.

“WHEN THE JOURNEY WITH JESUS GETS HARD”
Luke 24:13-19, “That same day two of them were walking to the village Emmaus, about seven miles out of Jerusalem. They were deep in conversation, going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their talk and questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who He was. He asked, “What’s this you’re discussing so intently as you walk along?”…
