Today's Passage : Today's Passage :The Word Made Flesh [2]
Bible Verse:1 Peter 1:19-21 (ESV)

"He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. "

Message: Another long sentence! This is actually a continuation of the Scripture from Saturday, but once again, we must take the time to read it slowly and thoroughly in order to get a full measure of meaning from it. Bible in light In the first line, Peter reminds us of something we learned in John 1: that Christ existed from the beginning of time. We could not, however, find him. He was a “light that shined in darkness,” but a light which darkness cannot comprehend. We were living in that darkness, and thus, we could not comprehend Christ. So the light took the form of a man, to ensure that we could see him and relate to him, to see what was possible: victory over death. He was made “manifest” — that is, made into something we could see and hear and touch — so that we might really grasp that God exists, and hear God's word, and know God’s heart, which is love. And for whom was this done? For the sake of us! Those “who through him are believers in God.” All this He did, so that our faith and hope might be in God. By our nature, our faith and hope are in things of this world: money, pride, status, the satiation of our bodies and our egos. Our nature is to believe what we can see. So God made Himself into someone we could see. He took the eternal fight of good and evil into the visible world. Christ was God bringing the fight into enemy territory, in a sense. And the purpose of Christ becoming a human being was that our faith and hope would be in God.

Meditation :

Prayer : The God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant; Make me perfect in every good work to do your will, working in me that which is well pleasing in your sight; through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever.......Amen
