The Word Became Flesh
The Gospel of John teaches us that we were made by Jesus, for Jesus. In order to know Him, we must know who we are and who we are not. The first three chapters of John reveal how we're dependent upon God to help us believe in the name of Jesus and become His children. In Jesus we find a well of abundant grace that never runs dry. Ultimately, we see that Jesus continues to draw people to Himself in the same way He drew His first disciples. Jesus became like us so that we might become like Him.
