IT’S ALL ABOUT JESUS
To read today: John 1:1-5, 14
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 1:14

If you want to know about Jesus, read the Gospel of John, which is all about Jesus. The main message is that Jesus is the Word of God, the Son of God, and God Himself. You’ll find the divine and human nature of Jesus. You’ll read about his teachings, miracles, and role as Messiah and Savior of the entire world. This gospel gives life because it inspires our faith in Jesus and presents Jesus as the gift of eternal life. It’s all about Jesus!
“Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there’s just something about that name
Master, Savior, Jesus, like the fragrance after the rain;
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, let all Heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there’s something about that name
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there’s something about that name”
Bill & Gloria Gaither
Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). The message is clear. Jesus is the only way to God and to eternal life. It’s not about something else and Jesus or Jesus and something else. Jesus is the complete package. He is the source of life that the whole world needs. It’s all about Him.
Reflection: What do you know about Jesus? Consider putting together a list of at least 10 things that you know about Him. Maybe even 10 reasons why you believe in Him.
