From Krasnoyarsk, Russia
Our Lord Jesus Christ is eternal.Our Lord Jesus Christ is a Person distinct from God the Father, and yet one with Him.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is very God.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Creator of all things.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the source of all spiritual life.
Do we know the exceeding sinfulness of sin? We can only know by what kind of Being Jesus our Savior needed to be in order to provide eternal deliverance for sinners. If no less than the eternal God, the Creator and Preserver of all things, could take away the sin of the world, sin must be a far more horrible thing in the sight of God than most of us think. The right measure of sin's sinfulness is the dignity of Him who came into the world to save sinners. If Christ is so great, then sin must indeed be sinful!
Do we know the strength of a true Christian's foundation for hope? The Savior in whom the believer is to trust is nothing less than the Eternal God, One Who is able to save to the uttermost all that come to the Father by Him. He that was "with God", and "was God" is also "Emmanuel, God with us". Let us thank God that our help is laid on One that is mighty. In ourselves we are great sinners. But in Jesus Christ we have a great Savior. He is a strong foundation-stone, able to bear the weight of a world's sin. He that believes on Him shall not be confounded.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was fully God. The Word was with God in the beginning. All things were created by Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created. In Him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. And the light shines on in the darkness, but the darkness has not mastered it. John 1: 1-5
