GOD SENT HIS SON
"In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." COLOSSIANS 2:9
On that first Christmas night in Bethlehem, “God was manifested in the flesh” (1 Tim. 3:16). This manifestation was in the person of Jesus Christ.
What an incredible truth! Think of it: The God of the universe came down from Heaven that first Christmas night and took human form! As the words of the familiar Christmas carol declare, “Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; hail th’ incarnate Diety.”
If you want to know what God is like, then take a long look at Jesus Christ—because He was God in human flesh. In Him were displayed not only the perfections that had been exhibited in the creation—such wisdom, power, and majesty—but also such perfections as justice, mercy, grace, and love. “The Word was God. . . . And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:1, 14).
To His disciples Jesus said, “You believe in God, believe also in Me” (John 14:1). This sequence of faith is inevitable. If we believe in what God made and what God said, we will believe in the One whom God sent.
