Love Fulfilled Ministry

  The Word came into existence as flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as only from the Father, full of grace and truth . 1 This word for came into existence is usually translated as "became' but it has more meaning as "to be, become, happen; to come into existence." Earlier John writes Jesus existed in the beginning as the Word of God and all things were created through Him. 3  It is an amazing concept; that which was in the beginning, the Word came into existence as flesh, in an earthly body subjected to futility, and dwelt among man.

But he replied they could interpret the appearances of the sky, but not the signs of the times? only a wicked and adulterous generation demands a sign, but none will be given except the sign of Jonah. Jesus would explain the leaven, so would Paul.   The sign given would be the death and resurrection of Christ.  " For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here. ” 3 Jesus performs a sign, feeding four thousand people with seven loaves, it had to be good bread, it was from heaven, but they must have not been too hungry with all the leftove...
