"The Word Became Flesh" -2

"Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the Book it is written of Me," (Psalms 40:7) This has been a very big deal for me, every since that day that I received Jesus into my heart, that Jesus being the Word of God became flesh and gave up His life for our sins. I believe that there are so many faiths that would want to take away from this fact, and try to make Jesus out to be someone other than who He really was; but the simple fact of the matter is, that Jesus Christ stepped down into the darkness to deliver us from our sins; then He was briefly persecuted by, and consumed of the darkness; yet, He arose Victor of the darkness, because He is the Light! This may not be such a big deal to some, maybe because they were raised knowing who Jesus really was; but I was raised believing that He was just someone God created to be a ransom sacrifice for the penalty of our sins, much as someone would give a spotless lamb to be sacrificed; not that the Lamb of God, who came to take away the sins of the world, not only was God, but that He became flesh to suffer and die for us. In other words, He also took on our suffering and our death; giving up His immortality, if just for a little while, He suffered the agony of death, to be victorious over death also. I am just amazed by what God has done for us; yet, the account of what He has done has been lessened in so many churches by taking away from who Jesus actually was, and by taking away from the Virgin Birth, or the fact that He actually came in the physical body of a man. Jesus is, was, and always will be God; so let the Truth be known... "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And 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 1:10-14)
