“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” (Psalm 34:8).
The best news on earth is the Good News of Jesus Christ, that God so much loved mankind He gave us eternal life through His Word. Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
God sent His Word to give us eternal life. “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” (John 17:3). Nothing is greater than this, that the good God gave us eternal life.
Eternal life is to know the only true God. Jesus Christ came into this world to reveal the true God to us. John wrote, “For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17).
It was Jesus Christ that gave us the knowledge of the true God. The true God is He that came from heaven, which is Christ the Word of God: “For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world” (John 6:33).
The Lord Jesus is that true God. All other gods are imaginations, they don’t exist: “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God” (Isaiah 44:6).
Christ is that God the Creator. Paul wrote, “For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6).
It was the Lord Jesus that said, “Let there be light; and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). All things were created by Him: “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth” (Psalm 33:6).
The Holy Scripture is the face of God, which shines in our hearts to give us the knowledge of God, until the truth of the Bible arises in our hearts. The Word is the good Lord from heaven. And “The Lord our God is one Lord” (Mark 12:29).
From the Scripture we learn that Jesus Christ is that good Shepherd who gave His life to the sheep. Christ is the good Lord “who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood” (Revelation 1:5).
The Word is the living God that came from heaven, which is Jesus Christ, as it is written: “That we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life” (1 John 5:20).
Scripture is the eternal life God gave to us. The Word of God is the everlasting life. Jesus says, “And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak” (John 12:50).
The Word of God is that food and drink from the good God, which we must eat to have everlasting life. That’s why Jesus says, “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:54).
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, fill me up with the truth of the Bible till I overflow, in Jesus name. Amen.
