The Word Made Flesh

A very good morning to you! It is Friday morning, 11th of February, the year 2022. And this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for today.

“Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.”

John 4:50

I read out of the New King James Version of the Bible, if we go to 1 John 5:7, do you know what it says?

It says there are three that bear witness in heaven - come on now, who are they - The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit… Is that right? - No, that is not right! My Bible says:

“For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.”

So who is the Word? That is right, the Word is Jesus. You see, that nobleman came to Jesus. He said, “My son is dying, please pray for him.” Jesus prayed for the son to be healed, he wasn’t even there. The nobleman left because he believed the Word of God and his servants came running up the road saying, “Your son lives.” The nobleman said, “When did he get better?” They said, ”Yesterday, on the seventh hour.” That was the exact time that Jesus prayed and said to the nobleman, “Your son lives” - the very same hour. Jesus is the Word!

“In the beginning (that is right in the beginning) was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

John 1:1

You and I need to believe the Bible because it is Jesus Christ in print. A couple came to see me, from Pretoria I think it was, a few weeks ago. The man had been very sick and he had lost his sight. He could hardly see, he could hardly walk into the office.

His dear wife was with him. He was a backslider, that is what he told me. He actually said he gave his life to the Lord in 2008 at the Mighty Men Conference, when we had the big tent. He was a broken man but his wife had incredible faith. She started weeping from the moment they walked into the office. He put his head down on the table. He sat in our boardroom and he just wept like a baby. I asked him, “What do you want Jesus to do for you?”

Now you might say that is a strange question to ask a man who obviously needs his sight back, but the same thing happened with Barthimaeus, in Mark 10:51, exactly the same thing.

“So Jesus answered and said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" The blind man said to Him, "Rabboni, ( which means teacher) that I may receive my sight." And immediately he was healed.

I asked this man the same question. He said, “I want to see.” We anointed him with oil. He prayed a prayer of repentance, his wife was weeping, he was weeping, we were all weeping. Now, she had driven him all the way from Pretoria. He said goodbye and my secretary came to me and said to me, “They have just driven out of the driveway.” I said, “Oh yes, that’s nice!” She said: “But he is driving the car!” - He drove all the way back!

Believe the Word!
God bless you and goodbye.
