The Journey That Love Took
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through
him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made.” John
1:1-3
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through

“[That] Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”
John 1:14
“No one has ever seen God, but
God the One and Only, who is at
the Father’s side, has made him
known.” John 1:18
What Love Was Willing to EndurePhil 2 5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ
Jesus: 6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but
made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being
made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
This is how God showed his love among us:
This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent his one and only Son
into the world that we might
live through him…
We love because he first
loved us.
1John 4:9,19

Phil 2 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and
gave him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. • Jesus not only loved us all enough to create us in his image
but to undergo unspeakable suffering in his heroic journey to rescue us from our sins and from ourselves.
• Will you bow your knee and confess Jesus is Lord? • Will you embark on that same heroic journey to love others?
