John the beloved Disciple starts off the narrative of his book by saying "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
This is in direct reference to Jesus Christ. Meaning that Christ was not created when He was born on earth. He was with GOD right in the beginning of creation.
Therefore, Jesus chose to come to earth and live amongst us. He chose to experience the world as we see it and as we live it with all the same challenges that we have to face. He had an earthly mother and an earthly father who made demands upon Him. He had brothers and sisters. He was the oldest so we can suppose that they looked up to Him as a role model.
Then He had His friends and His disciples. And finally, and most cruelly He knew that He would not live to have an old age on earth. He was going to die for us. And this could only be done out of His and the FATHER's great love of us.
When we pray to GOD in Jesus name, we need to remember that Christ knows our lives and He knows our challenges. He faced the same and worse than we can ever know.
Yet He still chose this in order to save each one of us. Let us today accept this and when we pray let us remember we are praying to a FATHER and our Saviour who know what we are going through.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER I love YOU and I thank YOU for YOUR grace. I thank YOU for sending Jesus to die for me. I thank YOU for listening to my prayers and I thank YOU for answering me even when I do not think that YOU are. I thank YOU for Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay graciously GOD blessed today!
