John 1

Before creation was our Saviour and King. Not existent and then servant-like, Jesus Christ is a Messiah who existed before creation always defined to be the answer, the truth, the wisdom to satiate our deep ache for His fingerprints within us to be more. You Jesus, molded us and through you and the breath of our Father were we made. Our familiarity with your hands was dulled by darkness. We turned from you thinking that life was on our terms and the secret deeds were our purpose. But there you came into the world! You were with God and were God, time passed, we made things worse, all was shrouded in darkness and finally you came and entered the world. You Jesus, the reason the logic that Greeks so value and puzzle about wondering are you tangible are you possible? Yes and in fact can we not only meet Truth, we can live in love with you and never have to bear the weight of wisdom but depend on You in relationship as your spirit dwells within us and testifies to our eternal connection with you.
You came. The Word, into our space, looking like us, to bring light to our doorstep. To mess up our structured disorders and get us to look into your face, the one we not only didn't recognize but also rejected. The one we were made by and predestined to be saved by His blood. All meaning, all truth, all goodness is only a testimony of you Jesus. Nothing is made outside of You! You hold all expression, all passion coming in all power to move heaven and earth that we would have the fulfillment of the light only found in you. When your light burst through our plummets of stale sin, the darkness our weak eyes only knew could do nothing in the splendor of your light, bursting to reclaim the destinies of the ones you have made.
John came first. You sent him to get your people ready for the revolution of truth to come. His wild calls started waking up hearts, making people think twice about sin and their allegiances to God. Questions were to form, hearts were to be cleansed to receive, Holla ya'll this is the lamb of God and John was to be whole-heartedly obsessed, ready and poised to harold the coming of the one who would come after him but would be far above him himself. Because of John, belief arose, unsettling the dust and empty vessels were cleansed ready to be filled by the Spirit that would meet up with Jesus the one John wouldn't even consider helping strap his sandles. The extent of John's faith was astounding. This burning lamp testified of a man he knew very little about, yet he gave his very life to stake out in the desert, live off of bugs and honey and wear camel hides for. John did not even fellowship with Jesus, he didn't know him but gave everything that people would believe in his name. When questioned he only identified himself as a statement pointing to the coming of God's son. Crazed and awake to the voice and movements of God, John immediately went off in declaration of the sight of Jesus both times that he saw him. "This is the one!" he said, " this is the one who will take away the sin of the world!" In John's witness, there was a deeper call for a dawning of relearning. Striking the dirt in preparation that the law of Moses would finally be made full and brought to life.
This Jesus Christ brought not only the power of this law but the reality of it fully manifested within him in the grace of being known by him, being personally rebuked by him, redeemed and loved in his death and filled with hope in his Resurrection.
