John 1:3-5

Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

John 1:10-11

He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

John 1:12-13

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

John 1:16-18

From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but God the one and Only, who is at the Father’s side, has made him known.

Jesus is our DECODER pin

Jesus decodes the SCRIPTURES

The MYSTERY of scripture; God’s will is revealed in Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the scriptures living INTERPRETATION

Jesus is the Word of God brought to LIFE.

Jesus decodes GOD

Jesus EXPLAINS and interprets God for us.

Giving up a throne in heaven in EXCHANGE for a manger put Jesus in a place to explain God to us in a way we can understand.

Jesus decodes LIFE

How often do we seek to answer the RIGHTquestions in the WRONG places

Not everything that PROMISES life delivers.

To receive Jesus is not merely an intellectual agreement to the FACTS, but to embrace this babe that was born for you as Savior and Lord.

To believe in His name means believe in Him and BELIEVE Him.
