"Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually." (Hebrews 7:3 KJV)
"So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father's one and only Son." (John 1:14 NLT)
If we really think about it, there is really nothing in this world that has more value than the salvation we have in Christ. It really doesn't matter how rich or poor we are; whether we live or die; whatever state or condition we might living in, or how hard the road is that we travel. Nothing else is more important than the life we have been given Christ Jesus!
There are certain things that are hard to explain, one of which is all of the characters and manifestations of Jesus Christ. The simple way to try and understand it, is to follow John's lead, which is that Jesus is and was the Word of God! Which, for our simple and limited understanding is actually that, a manifestation, whether it be light, or word, or any other object of the presence or character of God.
Not that He isn't God, because the Bible clearly says that He is, but that He will manifest Himself to be whatever He needs to be; whatever the Father requires, He can and will make it happen. That is really just what it appears to be; God is much more than anything we could ever imagine. I have shared on this before, about the magnification of brain cells, and how, if magnified enough, it has the appearance of what looks like the universe.
Imagine that, if the universe was just a brain cell of God; and here we are, living inside His head! Okay, I know that sounds crazy and beyond all possibilities; but I do believe that we serve a very Big God; bigger and greater than we could ever imagine...
"John testified about him when he shouted to the crowds, "This is the one I was talking about when I said, 'Someone is coming after me who is greater than I am, for he existed long before me.'" From his abundance we have all received one gracious blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses, but God's unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father's heart. He has revealed God to us." (John 1:15-18 NLT)
