\u201cAnd 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.<\/strong>\u201d
John 1:14 <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Solomon was an exceedingly wise man. He was a very wealthy\nman. This was all because when God asked him what he wanted, Solomon asked for\nwisdom of God to rule His people. God then gave him wisdom and wealth beyond\nmeasure. All heard of King Solomon\u2019s great wisdom and wealth. His fame spread\nthroughout the world. The queen from Sheba\nwent to meet King Solomon for herself. She saw all of his great wealth and\nasked him every question that was in her heart. When she could ask of no more\nto ask, she recognized something: \u201cHowbeit\nI believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it:<\/em> and,\nbehold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame\nwhich I heard<\/strong>\u201d (1 Kings 10:7). But more importantly, she recognized\nGod through Solomon\u2019s life: \u201cBlessed\nbe the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of <\/strong>Israel<\/strong>: because the LORD loved <\/strong>Israel<\/strong> for ever, therefore made he thee king, to\ndo judgment and justice<\/strong>\u201d (1 Kings 10:9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Jesus came, He preached to the people great things of\nGod. He healed many. He wrought many miracles. Yet when the people came out to\nsee a sign, instead of recognizing God through the life of Jesus, remember what\nHe told the crowd. \u201cThe queen of\nthe south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and\ncondemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the\nwisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is<\/em> here<\/strong>\u201d\n(Luke 11:31). Remember that the queen of Sheba\n(the queen of the south) acknowledged God when she met with King Solomon. Most\nof the people that went to see Jesus did not acknowledge God. Jesus is far\ngreater than King Solomon; for Jesus is<\/em><\/strong> God. Because the people\nwould not recognize Jesus, He declared that judgment would rise up and condemn\nthem. They did not understand something very important: Jesus came so that all\nwould have the opportunity to know God. However, each one must believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men wrote of what they had understood as they walked and\ntalked with Jesus. We can remember Jesus\u2019 Disciples as they recorded for us\ntheir eyewitness accounts of Jesus\u2019 life. They recognized the importance of\njust who Jesus is, that He was God come in the flesh. \u201cAnd the Word was made flesh, and dwelt\namong us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the\nFather,) full of grace and truth<\/strong>\u201d (John 1:14). They understood the importance of recording the\nlife of Jesus as they witnessed the events of His life \u2013 firsthand! They not\nonly saw, but also understood and believed in Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John taught about Jesus was from his own eyewitness account. See\nwhy he wanted to share his eyewitness account. \u201cThat which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have\nseen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of\nthe Word of life; 2. <\/strong>(For the life was\nmanifested, and we have seen it,<\/em> and bear witness, and shew unto you\nthat eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto\nus;) 3. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye\nalso may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is<\/em> with the\nFather, and with his Son Jesus Christ<\/strong>\u201d (1 John 1:1-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although many did not understand just who Jesus was when He came, God\u2019s Word helps us recognize those who did. They left a testimony that Jesus was God come in the flesh. More importantly, they explained to us that Jesus came to save people from their sin \u2013 if one will only believe. However, only those who believe Jesus is the Christ, that once and for all sacrifice for sins, will be saved. \u201c9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation… 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved<\/strong>\u201d (Romans 10:9\u201310, 13).\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you one who has believed the testimony that Jesus is God?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
