Jesus, the Living Word

 

John 1:1-5

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” 

Jesus, our true Saviour

Jesus, the One who died for all of us

Who died for the sinner as well as the saint

The unbeliever as well as the believer

That all might come to repentance

That all might come to the belief of Him

Of Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, ascension, and enthronement 

Jesus, the Light 

Jesus, the Word

Jesus, the spirit of prophecy

Jesus, our everything

Jesus, you are alive

Jesus, you are the air we breathe day in and day out

Jesus, you are the true Vine we abide in 

How excellent and privileged we are to be a branch

To be a part of this tree of excellence

To be a part of the tree of Kingdom family

Jesus, the ultimate Tree

The ultimate Well that never runs dry

The true, living Water that supplies us in dry places

The true, living Water that flows from our bellies

You are the living Water

What a privilege

What an honor to even by known by You

Our Supplier, our Lover, and our Friend

Our big Brother who has no end

What a privilege and what an honor

The living Word

With every Word

We take another breath of you 

We inhale another life-saving breath of eternity

Jesus, your love tops all others

Your love is felt

Your love is overwhelming and felt

You are sweet and fierce

The fear of the Lord overtakes us

And we bow in submission

What a sweet, fierce Presence to be in

We love you and will always

This garden of love

This garden of embrace

This garden of intimacy

This never-ending garden we will dwell 

We won’t just visit

But we will forever abide

You are our Peace

We will forever abide

Thank you

***Jesus, we love you. Oh how excellent is your Presence. How wonderful is your Light. You are the Light that shines up the entire world. You are the true Intercessor, the truest Servant of them all. What a privilege and honor to have you as our prime example of what it means and looks like to love and honor our neighbor as we so easily do ourselves. We thank you Jesus, that the closer we get to you, we see our own imperfections. We see what only you can clean up; only you can heal and make better. It is by your Light do we live. It is by your Light can we inhale and exhale. It is by you and your breath do we have air in our lungs. We love you and will forever praise your Name and lift you high. We will exult you with an everlasting shout as long as we are able, so let this be for eternity. In Jesus’ Name, we pray—Amen.***
