Scripture Reading: Isaiah
60 – 62 John 1
S=Scripture O=Observation A=Application
P=Prayer SOAP for the soul.
S. John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt
among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the
Father, full of grace and truth.
Vs 16-18 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the
law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No
one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the
Father, He has declared Him. NKJV
O. The writer is John the humble fisherman that
was called from the shore to abandon his fishing business and follow a man that
was walking down the beach. Unlike Dr.
Luke, John writes with common, uncomplicated words, yet he takes us directly to
the very core of the Gospel. Jesus is
God the Son Who descended to walk with us and show us the face of the Father. Four times in these few verses, John inserts
the word “grace” in contrast to the Jewish emphasis on the Mosaic “law.”
A. I love to preach about Jesus, because when we
open our spiritual eyes to “see” Jesus, everything changes. Our present world is enamored with visual
images, static and moving. They beckon,
even demand our attention. But as I
“look” at Jesus, fix my eyes upon Him, the clamor and glamour of worldly
attractions fade into the shadows.
P. Thank You for coming, Lord Jesus, and for the
beautiful history written by those that walked with You. I might have had a
concept of a demanding God with a hammer in his hand, but You showed me Your
Father. And today I bathe in the sunshine
of His great love, mercy and grace.
Amen.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Turn your
eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Oh soul are
you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness to see
There's a light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
No light in the darkness to see
There's a light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
His words
shall not fail you, He promised
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell
Oh soul are
you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness to see
There's a light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
No light in the darkness to see
There's a light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
Turn your
eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of Earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
