Strive to comprehend
This remarkable object of nature

GOD SAID, “PLANETS!”
And planets appeared.
In their full glory;
Not by accident but for a purpose

God spoke: “Light!”
And light appeared. (Gen. 1:3, msg)

THE PROFESSOR SAYS, “HUMAN BEING.”
A member of any of the races of Homo sapiens.
We pull apart the plastic anatomy models;
We examine the body parts;
And we marvel at science

GOD SAID, “HUMAN BEING.”
or “Man.”
More specifically:
“Let Us create man in Our image.”
And a body formed out of the earth—
Complete with nervous system
Pulmonary functions,
Fully functioning brain . . .

AND THEN
God took man and breathed into him.
We respire,
We think and feel,
We express emotions,
as does our triune Creator.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God . . . And the Word became flesh

Motivated by sacrificial love,

“WORD!”

God said, “Truth be manifest!”
Revelation happened. Quietly.
A humble yet invincible power,
Born on earth. Lived among us:
Jesus Christ, divine Son of God and man.

- Those who knew Jesus personally, this the exact image/reflection of God the Father, and liked what they saw, were actually liking God, their Creator
- Those who were offended by Jesus—what He said and how He operated—were in the greatest sense of the word offended by Truth, or by God Himself.
- God sent His Image of Truth into the world as a light to show the way, to model Truth, to manifest our life Source

“No man comes to the Father except through Me.” -Jesus, Son of God
“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” – Jesus Christ, to His disciples
Nothing religious about Truth. It’s simple, yet profound.
Know Him = eternal Life
