Subject: Whom should I direct my love and praise

Bible Note: gk, see John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And verse 14,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. What this says to me is that Jesus is the Word of God. He was with God in the beginning and will always be with God. When we get to be with God we will be with Jesus, because they are the same. Here is a passage from Hebrews, (1:1-3a) 1.In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2.but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3.The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. O-kay? Now we need to be careful about the bibles we read concerning this, because some translations are what we call "paraphrased" and use a lot of freedom in getting the point across, so some of these versions actually say that the Son is a reflection of God's glory. this is wrong, that would be saying that if God were the sun, Jesus would be the moon, since the moon does not give off any light of it's own. More accurately, Jesus is the REFULGENCE (brilliant radiance) of God's glory. The two are both equal parts of the Holy Trinity, the Triune God that consists of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I hope this helps you, May our Lord bless you
and keep you; may He make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you; may the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace. Tim
