DAILY IMMERSION IN THE PROPHETIC WORD Monday | Mess. 15 – I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life
The first section of John’s Gospel (chs. 1 to 13) shows that God wants to give us His eternal life. To fulfill God’s will, that Christ be the Head over all things, it is necessary for man to receive eternal life. What God wants is not to establish a religious organization on earth that teaches many rules of conduct to men to improve them, but what will change them, in fact, is eternal life (John 3:16, 36; 5: 24; 6:40; Eph 1:9-10).
Divine and eternal life is abstract and inexplicable. In order for man to receive His life, God sent His Word to man. This word is not merely a means of communication, but the Son of God Himself, Jesus Christ, as the Word who was in the beginning with God and was sent to us full of grace and truth. It is enough for man to simply receive the word that God sent and he has eternal life (John 1:1, 4, 14; 5:24).
Man’s difficulty in accepting the Son of God who came to earth prevented the Jews and religious leaders from receiving His Word. They loved darkness more than light. Even if we are bothered by the exposure of light, we must remain in it, for at some point it will do its work, giving us life and transforming us (John 3:19-21; 8:12).
The church is the Body of Christ and must be headed up by Him. The zeal of the Lord Jesus reveals to us His desire to carry out a deep cleaning in the church, so that it becomes pure and simple again, fighting only for the edification of the Body and not for human interests. Let us also watch over the house of God and follow the example of the Lord Jesus (Daily Food, Book 5, Week 1, Monday, page 8).
