Just add God

Today’s reading came from John 1:1-18, and the key is from verses 16-18:

Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in the closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

This was the cry of John the Baptist. It was said before Jesus began His ministry on earth. That was the reason Jesus came on the earth. “Just add God” is more than a cliche, but a reality. We do not know God short of knowing Jesus. Knowing Jesus is only part of it, as Jesus is also where we can find grace and truth.

If you are going through a very smooth path in life at the moment, you need to add God, because it is by His Grace that you are where you are. If you are going through a rough patch, you need to add God or there is no chance you will get out of it in one piece. You want to have a future that has hope, you need to add God.

You can do “it”, whatever “it” is, by yourself, you can try, but it’s not going to be easy, and also frustrating.
