The Glorious Deeds of Christ

This is a busy time of year.  Yet we should never be so busy that the wonder of Jesus becomes ordinary to us.  Read these two passages of scripture slowly. Think deliberately about them. Then read them to your children.  Ask God to overwhelm you with the glorious deeds of Jesus Christ.

From the Gospel of John:

 

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

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.

There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

 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. 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.

 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.   John 1:1-14

From Psalm 78: 

O my people, listen to my instructions.
      Open your ears to what I am saying,
    for I will speak to you in a parable.
   I will teach you hidden lessons from our past--
    stories we have heard and known,
      stories our ancestors handed down to us.
 We will not hide these truths from our children;
      we will tell the next generation
   about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
      about his power and his mighty wonders.  Psalm  78:1-4
