God On Earth (The Light Of The World)


  • Pray
  • Text –  John 1 1-14
The Word Became Flesh
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.
6There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.
7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.[b]
10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
13children born not of natural descent,[c] nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.  
14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[d] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Takes more faith not to believe than to believe when you consider:

  1. Word of God written 66 books written by 40 people (2 Timothy 3:16
    All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness) – The Bible agrees with itself – from cover to cover
    • In this day and age with fax and email I doubt if we could get 20 of our friends to totally agree on any one point let alone hundreds.
  2. The odds of the prophesy in The Bible that have been fulfilled the are about 17,000,000 to 1.
The odds of unfulfilled prophesy in The Bible coming true are exponentially higher.
  1. History has proven – Hittite Empire - (mentioned only in Bible) A Hittite city has been uncovered by archeologist.
  2. Countless ruins and archeological discoveries confirm places and events mentioned in Bible
