"Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is."
—John 7:27 (KJV)
God in human flesh is how John described Jesus as he began his gospel (John 1:14-18). Jesus was God's ultimate message and revelation of God himself in human form (Hebrews 1:1-3). Jesus' incarnation is a mystery that neither the crowds in his day nor we in our day can fully fathom. This truth is beyond our human experience and limited knowledge of eternal reality. So, we shouldn't be surprised when Jesus' critics quickly characterized him as someone who could not be Messiah because they thought they knew where he was from — Nazareth when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. He existed as God and with God before time as we know it began. The crowds were wrong about his origin and so many other things. Dear friend in Christ, Jesus exhausts our imagination and overflows our cup of wonder as we seek to understand all he is as our Savior, Christ the LORD! So, come and let's adore and praise him for all he is, even what we cannot yet understand of his glory!
O LORD, forgive me for my limited vision of Jesus' glory. Please enable my heart's ability to find wonder, joy, grace, exhilaration, glory, and awe in my Savior's power, grace, sacrifice, victory, and love. To you, Father, and to the Christ, be all the glory and honor that my heart can muster and my voice can proclaim. Through the intercession of the Holy Spirit and in the authority of Jesus' name, I offer you my praise! Amen.
