John 1:1

 
Dear friends,
We’ve been looking at John 1:1, and seeing that Jesus is the Word, the Thought, the Reason, of God. Here’s a devotional poem from Christ-follower Clayton Lorenz seeing the same. It’s called “Seeds of Knowledge.”

 

Seeds of Knowledge

Lord, throw me
the seeds of knowledge,
and of wisdom.

Till the soil of my heart.
Prepare it for You,
so they may land in good soil.

Let none be wasted.
Let their roots dig
deep into my heart.

Strengthen them, O Lord.
May they withstand the winds,
and the storms, of life.

Let them all grow
from the dirt within me,
to the beauty of You!

Dear friends,
Here’s a devotional poem for today. It’s based on what God’s Word says in John 1:1:

 

The Word Is Reason Itself

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Thought,
and the Reason,
of God.
For the Word was always
more than words.

Where we write “Word,”
John had a bigger word,
Logos —
the Word of God,
the Thought of God,
Divine Reason,
the ordering principle of all things.

This is Jesus.
To those then who say,
Jesus is unreasonable,
you and I
may reply,
my friend, Jesus is Reason itself.
