Let’s begin with prayer: Father God, in the name of Jesus, please help us learn more about you. Your Bible is truth. Help us hear, learn and speak the truth. Thank you God, for your Son Jesus. Amen.
If I said “The Word” to you, what comes to mind? Word Up – the song, or you might even say What word? You might know that I’m talking about the Bible.
I want you to learn two things about THE WORD:
- JESUS IS THE WORD. That means that the Bible is Jesus written down.
- The WORD IS TRUTH. That means that what the Bible says is true.
I want you to look in your Bible to a couple verses. First, in John chapter 1 verse 1, that’s easy to remember John 1:1, it says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Wow the Word was God. So when you hold your Bible in your hand, you are holding God in written form.
If you have a Bible that has titles to chapters and paragraphs, my Bible has the Title: The Word Became Flesh.
The Bible says that Jesus was with God in Heaven in the very beginning. And that God gave men the words to write down to be His Bible. He was writing about His Son, His Only Son.
The whole Bible from the very beginning to the very end talks about Jesus.
God knew that the world was going to need a Savior. Our Savior is Jesus and how he saves us is from our sins. God does not like sin. So Jesus came to earth to take the WHOLE WORLD’S SINS AWAY.
God knew that everybody would need to know about Jesus and what he did with our sins so God had men write it down and that is how Jesus became THE WORD.
The second thing I want you to learn is the Word – THE BIBLE—is Truth. Now God does not lie. He cannot lie. He is God.
In John chapter 17 verse 17, that’s an easy one to remember too. John 17:17, it says “Sanctify them by the truth; your WORD IS TRUTH.”
Now I’m not going to start talking about lying and what a lie is, because I think we all know about lies. If it’s NOT THE TRUTH – It’s a lie.
The Bible says that the WORD is TRUTH. Here is a key, if you read your Bible, you will see that it is the truth and the truth will set you free. It sets you free from all kinds of things.
Jesus set us free from sin.
Jesus is the Word – or another name for the Bible.
Read your Bible and you will find Jesus.
Send me an email to CaptainCool@shoutministries.net and tell me about something you read in your Bible about Jesus.
Let’s close with Prayer: You can say this prayer with me.
Dear God: Thank you that you sent your Son Jesus as the Word of God. Thank you that you had men write down the Bible so I could read about Jesus. Thank you Jesus for taking away my sins on the Cross. Amen
