Ps. 98:Sing unto the Lord a new song for he has done miracles like using his power to save Israel his people. All of nature will clamp their hands, shout and the mountains will sing for joy. For the Lord the King will come to judge the world.
Heb. 1:1-4(5-12): In the past God used Prophets to speak to his people. But the day came when he chose to send his son to come and speak to his people. God made the world through is son and he own what he made. The son reflects the glory of God the Father for he is an exact image of God the Father. He holds the world together with his powerful word. The made man clean from their sins.Because of that God gave his a name that is higher than anything including the angels.Today he sits on the right side of God the Father in heaven and the angels serve him.
John 1:1-14:Before the world began there was Jesus. Jesus made the world. Jesus is the light. Jesus came into the world to his people , but they did not know him. Jesus shinned his light for all to see, but they did not accept him. But some did accepted him and they became children of God. John the Baptist came to prepare the people for Jesus; coming. He told the people, " The light is coming to you. I am not that light, the one who brings the light is coming after me." Then when he could he pointed Jesus out to them and told the people, " this is the one I told you about." We are not children of God. John the Baptist came to prepare the people for Jesus; coming. He told the people, " The light is coming to you. I am not that light, the one who brings the light is coming after me." Then when he could he pointed Jesus out to them and told the people, " this is the one I told you about." We are not children of God through in body but through the spirit of God. God's so, Jesus came as a human and showed us his glory that was full of grace and truth.
In the beginning, the son of God, Jesus made the world (John 1:1-5). But the world did not know him. So God used Prophets to speak to his people, but they still did not understand and know God. But the day came when God the Father chose to send his son, Jesus to personally speak to his people(Heb. 1:1-14). But before he had Jesus preach to them, God sent John the Baptist to prepare peoples hearts ahead of time (John 1:6-9). Jesus came to shine a light into the spiritual darkness of the world. But many of his time did not go to the light. Yet there were some who did & they became spiritual children of God (John 1:10-14). Jesus did many miracles and spoke many wonderful things to prove who he was to them (Ps. 98). When he was done telling and showing them, he went and paid for their sins on the cross, so that they could be clean spiritually (Heb. 1:3). Then he did one last miracle in the world and rose from the dead. Because of that God the Father had him sitting on his right side in heaven (Heb. 1:3). Now all the earth clamp their hands, shouts and sings his praises and waits for the day when he will judge the world (Ps. 98). Today, we are the ones who are to go around the world and tell people of God's great salvation. The word ways that we and our feet are beautiful to God if we do so (Is. 52:7-10).
