Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year OneSample

And the Word became 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).

Do you still marvel that God became like us so that we could become like Him?

Jesus took on flesh so that He could become “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29). Paul marvels and calls this a mystery, which biblically means a sacred secret that was once unknown but now has been revealed. He writes, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh” (1 Timothy 3:16). Relying upon Jesus’ finished work transfers an individual from darkness into the kingdom of light. John states, “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12).

Employment Point: Believe on Jesus’ finished work and marvel at the incarnation.
